We had the honor of welcoming Liz Shuler, President of the AFL-CIO, for the second time to the HIRE360 Training Center for a special luncheon with the Chicago Federation of Labor. During her visit, she observed our candidates in action participating in a CPR class and shared insights about the AFL-CIO’s role and its collaboration with union trades across various sectors. We are grateful for her leadership and dedication to the labor movement! #AFL-CIO #LizShuler #HIRE360 #ChicagoFederationOfLabor #CPRClass #UnionTrades #LaborMovement
