Labor Day
Happy September. Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. Did you march on Eastern Parkway for Carnival? Share your stories and photos with us here.
Join us this Saturday, Sept. 6 @ 9 am for our Labor Day march, and show New York City our Union Power and fight for workers over billionaires! The first 500 attendees will receive an exclusive DC 37 t-shirt RSVP here.
March on Wall Street
August 28th marked 62 years since the historic March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. Proud members of DC 37, AFSCME, UFT, 1199, National Action Network, Reverend Al Sharpton, and union members from California, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and more marched on Wall Street. In the face of injustice, our union continues the fight for economic, racial, immigrant and voter justice.
