L.A. UNION MEMBERS MARK MAY DAY
Thousands of union members and immigrant rights groups flooded the streets of downtown Los Angeles on May 1 to commemorate International Workers’ Day, better known as May Day.
More than a dozen Local 11 members joined their union brothers and sisters at the rally and march that began at 9 am at LA Live, near Crypto Arena, then marched several miles to the Federal Building where the ICE offices are located.
Rally goers in Los Angeles heard from labor and immigrant group speakers who were demanding living wages, safe workplaces and respect for immigrant rights, particularly in light of the Trump administration’s drastic immigration policies and recent mass deportations.
