Mark Gruenberg at People’s World reports Organized Labor and its allies turned out the troops en masse in 600 marches nationwide in what was the largest U.S. celebration of May Day, the International Workers’ Holiday, in years. The message was the need to resist and turn back the Trump Administration’s attacks on Workers, Immigrants and all sectors of the population in the country. Rallies, marches, speeches and much more featured a variety of themes, most of them pointedly exposing the Republican President, the corporate criminal class he speaks for, and his actions against Workers and Unions, especially Federal Unions. “From kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta, Working People are rising up,” the Chicago Federation of Labor and other organizers declared. “We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes, public schools over private profits, health care over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.” Tesla tycoon Musk, plus “Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom - on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our Unions and silence Immigrant voices,” the Chicagoans adding: “May Day 2025, we are standing united. We’re organizing for a world where every family has housing, health care, fair wages, Union protection and safety - regardless of race, zip code or immigration status. (By contrast), Trump and his corporate class are) defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking Unions and targeting Immigrant Families with fear and violence. This is a war on Working People and we will not stand down. This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era - one where Working Families lead, Immigrants are protected and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.”
