President Barack Obama will spend part of this Labor Day addressing the AFL-CIO at an event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The labor community wants the administration to do more on the jobs-creation front, while many Democrats want the union group to become more active in the mid-term elections.
The president of the North Carolina chapter of the AFL-CIO says union members, civil rights activists and other concerned citizens need to come together this fall in support of good jobs.
