Step out this Saturday to learn the history of labor in DC!

Dear Friend,

 

Step out with us and our comrades at Metro DC DSA and the Labor Heritage Foundation on Saturday, May 11th for their DC Labor History Walking Tour! Find more information and a link to sign up here.

The tour will meet at Union Station, then visit several landmarks that pay tribute to the past and ongoing struggle of the American working class with a broad range of union organizers and labor experts as guides. Attendees will learn about the early rise of labor power, the violent state suppression of workers, corporate retaliation against unions that still impacts workers today, how workers fought back and won critical concessions through the Great Depression, how neoliberal international trade undercuts US labor — and much more.

 

Also at the walking tour, DC JWJ will be handing out our Know Your Rights flyers with key facts for workers about labor laws and protections granted to them on the job. Along with this information there will also be a QR code to our Stop Wage Theft Survey. Participate in this survey to help us and the OAG understand how employer violations of labor laws affect workers in DC! http://bit.ly/StopWageTheftSurvey

 

In solidarity,
