Happy Labor Day to all Local 302 members and their families. On Monday, September 4, 2023 we celebrate the contributions of workers to the development and achievements of the United States.

The holiday has its roots in the labor union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated for a fair work-life balance. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the efforts of all workers who have helped build America.

Enjoy a well-deserved day of rest and festivities.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Local 302 and Sunrise Dental Golf Charity Classic on August 19 at Meadow Park Golf Course in Tacoma, WA! We represent Meadow Parks members and are proud to hold the event there. Funds raised go towards the Local 302 Hope Fund, Sunrise for Children, and the PSLA Food Bank. We’re still tallying the total amount of money raised and will share once that’s available.
