Labor Day recalls the late 19th-century labor movement when thousands protested for fairer labor laws and workplaces. Unions face challenges protecting members from the Trump Administration's immigration raids, cuts in Medicaid services, and a weakened National Labor Relations Board. Organizers assembled a nationwide protest called "Workers over Billionaires," aiming to prevent billionaires from slashing care, scapegoating immigrants, raiding public dollars, and dividing working people for profit. Tens of thousands joined "No Kings" protests across Southern California in June. A list of planned Los Angeles-area protests for Monday includes Historic Filipinotown and Long Beach (Ocean Boulevard), with a complete list on the May Day Strong website.
Labor Day is a reminder of the labor movement of the late 19th century when thousands of Americans protested and fought for fairer, more equitable labor laws and workplaces. This year's federal holiday is no different as unions are challenged with protecting their members from the Trump Administration's immigration raids, cuts in Medicaid services and a weakened National Labor Relations Board.
Organizers have put together the nationwide protest "Workers over Billionaires," calling it a " refusal to let billionaires slash care, scapegoat immigrants, raid public dollars, and divide working people for profit." In June, tens of thousands of demonstrators showed up for "No Kings" protests across Southern California. Here is a list of the planned protests in the Los Angeles area slated for Monday. A complete list of the collective actions can be found on the May Day Strong website. Historic Filipinotown Long Beach (Ocean Boulevard)
