It’s May 1, #MayDay , or International Workers’ Day. Chicago workers have long been leaders in the labor movement - fighting for fair wages, fair hours and other important rights that have benefited people globally. Thank you to our labor leaders of the past, present and future.

Today is International Workers Day, a day for workers across the globe to reflect on the struggles and hard-fought gains made by organized labor activists of the past, and to celebrate our own strength in the present.
