Why May Day Matters
May Day is a truly American holiday.
It began in Chicago in 1886 with the
struggle to win an 8-hour day.
121
years later, many Venetians still do not work only eight hours a day. They work
many more hours a day and more than 40 hours a week without extra
compensation.
Many others in our
community do not have a job or a steady income. Some do not even have a home.
And health care is not the human right it should be.
Thank you Longshore Union for leading
the way. The struggle continues.
