In the center of the banner, instead of the usual UAW logo, were the words “Uniting All Workers.” Cheers and applause greeted the contingent along the route of march.
The NYC Central Labor Council handed out well-received signs calling for support for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). And “Vote No on Con Con” was promoted by several contingents. That refers to a New York state ballot initiative for a constitutional convention, which unions oppose because it could be used by big business to destroy hard-fought gains won by labor.
