The Pullman Civic Organization (PCO) is a non-profit community organization of the Historic Pullman neighborhood on the far Southside of Chicago. Pullman is the original town built by George Pullman in 1880 to house the workers at his Palace Car factory and has a long and rich labor history. The Pullman Civic Organization will conduct its fourth annual Pullman Labor Day bike tour on Monday September 1st, 2008. The theme this year on Labor Day, is to honor the important tradition that labor unions have played in Pullman and in the Calumet region. The bike ride was a huge success the past three years thanks to our contributors and riders.
All proceeds from the ride will go towards expenses and a celebration at the historic Hotel Florence in Pullman at the conclusion of the 30 mile course. Lunch and a labor history program will be a part of the festivities, with appropriate speakers for the occasion.
Help to continue the tradition of honoring labor in the region of Pullman, where labor history was made during the infancy of the movement.
