Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA)
Tom Munnelly, Assistant to the President of Communication Workers of America Local 1101 in N.Y., is either one heck of a lucky black bear hunter or a darn good one. I suspect he’s both. During his last five black bear hunts in Wyoming, he scored five times, and four of his bears made the record book. Two of them won awards in the annual Wyoming Outfitters and Guides Association Contest. Read full story here
Labor Day Tribute to the American Worker
As part of a new partnership with the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA), Sportsman Channel will dedicate Labor Day Weekend as a tribute to the American worker with a continual run of public service announcements (PSAs) featuring AFL-CIO President and USA Chairman Richard Trumka.
The PSAs will salute the American workers who made possible the eight hour work day, five day work week and recognize the importance of the great outdoors to unions and their members. President Trumka will also announce the new partnership between the USA and Sportsman Channel, the leader in outdoor TV for the American Sportsman and InterMedia Outdoors, the largest outdoor media group in America, as the three outdoor industry powers join forces to advance conservation and access issues vital to all sportsmen and women.
“Millions of union members hunt, fish and shoot, and they make up a large portion of the audience InterMedia Outdoors targets through its extensive network of television, magazines, radio and websites,” said Trumka. “We are excited about this partnership between InterMedia Outdoors, Sportsman Channel and the USA as it will enable us to make a stronger connection with our members and better demonstrate labor’s commitment to conservation and our outdoor heritage.”
