A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness.
For many workers, the greatest threat isn't job loss. It's work that will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.
In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New Yorkโs unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.
None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.
We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.
Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at https://t.co/OIfGPvkFEU.
