Detroit: ‘Jobs, yes! Banks, no!’

Published Jul 2, 2010 8:09 AM
On June 23 more than 800 demonstrators gathered at the Michigan Labor
Legacy Monument at Hart Plaza in Detroit for a rally demanding jobs and
denouncing the role of the banks in destroying the lives of working people.
Organized by AFSCME, other Detroit unions and Jobs with Justice, demonstrators
marched to the Detroit City County building, circling the building in a massive
picket while demanding no more city layoffs, no more cuts in city services, and
an end to the raid on the city workers’ pension funds. Marchers then
proceeded to the Bank of America to demand a bailout of the people and a return
of the money taken from the workers.
