Make Working People’s Voices Heard At Polls

Each Labor Day, we pay tribute to the hardworking men and women who keep our city up and running. Whether they educate our children, construct and protect our buildings, run city agency operations, or maintain the city’s aging infrastructure, we salute their commitment to providing quality, dignified service.

It’s no secret that this has been a turbulent year for working people. Throughout our country, the rights and benefits of working people have been under attack. From Michigan to Chicago to New Jersey, working people have had to fight to ensure that they get what they need to get by. Workers in the city are continuing to fight for increased safety regulations at construction sites, and fair wages and benefits for the workers who provide vital care services for our city’s aged and infirm. And as local schools prepare to open their doors for students, Teachers and other municipal employees are still without a valid contract.
