The union gave out UFCW 1518 buttons, pens and mini frizbees to festival-goers. We also took the opportunity to have petitions signed for the living wage campaign (http://www.ufcw1518.com/node/3362) and gave out “Happy Vaisakhi” leaflets from UFCW 1518 with information about who we are and what we represent.
