Union Square
Noon - Gathering

May Dayoriginated in the United States when native and immigrant workers united to fight for the 8-hour day. Today we are calling all workers to come together—not just to fight for survival, but to fight for better lives, and control over our time and our lives. 

The Union Square March and Rally will be participated in by many groups and unions.

DFNYC has also been invited to unite with workers from Flor De Mayo, Saigon Grill, Ollie's, nail salons and hundreds of other workers for Equality Rights for all Workers.  This march will show unity between native-born and immigrant workers and will call for an equal standard and equal rights for all working people in this country.
