May 16-18: America @ Work AFL-CIO Union-Industries Show

From May 16-18 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, hundreds of exciting exhibits and hands-on demonstrations will celebrate America’s union workers and the work they do. 

The 70th Annual America-at-Work AFL-CIO Union-Industries Show has something for everyone: adults and kids, high school seniors and senior citizens. 

Admission is FREE!

For the first time in the show’s history, many of our exhibitors will be encouraged to sell their high-quality products on the Show floor—including automobiles, tools, work clothes, appliances, work boots, sporting equipment, building products and more—at special prices. 

It's the largest collection ever of union-made-in-the-USA products and services under one roof!

Meet the folks who train Guide Dogs and watch as they put their canine students through their paces; see the latest in autos, trucks and vans from Daimler Chrysler, Ford, GM and Saturn; Kick the tires on the concept cars of the future.

Interested in a union-career as a craft worker? Visit with any of a dozen or more apprenticeship trainers who will be on hand to talk about the training you can get. Try your hand at any of a score of craft jobs. Talk to electricians, operating engineers, iron workers, sheet metal workers, bricklayers, painters, plumbers, cement masons, tile setters and roofers about their training and careers.


Show Hours: Friday, Saturday & Sunday, May 16-18, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
