In memory of Dolly Parton

AUGUST 26, 2026—Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” will always hold a special place in the hearts of working people everywhere.

We remember Dolly with gratitude for the joy she brought to so many and for the way she stood up for working people and women fighting for equal pay, equal rights, and a fair shot in every job, including ours. That same heart showed through her philanthropy, from putting millions of books into children’s hands to supporting disaster relief, education, and medical research.

Whether you work 9 to 5, 3 to 11, midnight to 8, or anything in between, working people keep this city moving. Unions help make sure everyone has a voice, respect, and a fair shake on the job.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
