The AFL-CIO extends heartfelt greetings to our Christian members, their families and the Christian community during this Easter season.
Easter is celebrated on Sunday, April 9, and April 16 by Eastern Orthodox churches. On Easter, Christians around the world celebrate their belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, which forms the foundation of the Christian faith.
Through the Resurrection, Christians believe that new life is possible, even in the face of death and despair. So the spirit of Easter is about hope, love, joy and new possibilities.
May this Easter be an occasion for you to enjoy time with your families and give you renewed vision to see the challenges before us and the courage to rise and address them.
