LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Hundreds of workers will rally in the Westlake district Monday morning before boarding buses bound for Delano for the “Con Estas Manos/With These Hands” César Chávez Day march.
Workers from hospitals, foster care, mental health, courts, law enforcement, libraries, street services, sanitation, water treatment, parks services, janitors, child care providers, health care and home care workers and gig workers will gather outside the headquarters of Service Employees International Union Local 721 for the rally, organizers said.
The theme of the march “honors not only the labor of workers who use their hands to feed us, to care for our children, the old, and the sick, and to build our shelter. It also recognizes how much we all share in common with families seeking safety in our state and parents willing to endure deep sacrifice to ensure their children don’t grow up with fear or hunger,” organizers said…
