On Friday, May 1 the Illinois Labor History Society will be holding its annual event to commemorate the struggle for the 8 hour day which took place right here in the city of Chicago.
This year’s program will feature speakers on the Employee Free Choice Act and the recent victory of the Republic Window workers who occupied their factory to prevent their bosses from denying them the wages and benefits they had earned.
Chicago’s labor history is a rich one and this is an opportunity to celebrate it while reminding ourselves of the important role that labor struggles have played in advancing the interests of working people.
