LABOR DAY in L.A., San Pedro, Real Celebration by 100’s of UNIONS representing hundreds of thousands of Workers in Los Angeles, CA.

LABOR DAY started with the Killing of a Worker. We worked 16 hour days, 6 or 7 days a week. Pregnant girls, and Union organizers were quickly fired. Bernie to Young Interviewer “Alone you can’t negotiate your own pay. With 25 fellow workers, you can negotiate Collectively.”  Jimmy Dore Show, with Stef Zambrano, & Ron Placone @ronplacone.
