May Day 2014: Commemorating Worker Dignity

May 1, 2014

May Day is International Workers' Day, a day celebrated around the world to lift up the struggles -- and celebrate the contributions -- of workers across the globe.20140430-Facebook-Share-May-Day-Graphic-thumb-320x320-7706

SEIU members and community activists are joining together in marches and rallies to stand up for the rights of the 99% by calling for good jobs and justice for workers and immigrants. Many of the May Day civic engagement activities will call attention to the growing momentum for immigration reform that will end the separation of families and provide a clear and direct path to citizenship for 11 million aspiring Americans.
