Union strong ✊ Thousands of union workers converged in Lower Manhattan for the NYC Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO Labor Day Rally & March, a powerful show of solidarity from teachers, transit workers, writers, healthcare workers, construction workers, and so many others who keep New York City moving.
This gathering carries a history that runs deep. The first Labor Day celebration in the country took place in New York City in 1882. More than 140 years later, the fight continues for fair pay, safe working conditions and a stronger future for working people.
