Now we celebrate International Working Women's Day and Womens History Month from 1911 to 2021 " from The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911 which led to International Women's Day our first stop is the protest to demand "Stop Liox/Wash Supply's union-busting campaign against immigrant laundry workers."
The protesters also seek to highlight working-class solidarity, from NYC's laundry workers and the Hunts Point market workers in the Bronx, who inspired with their January strike -- to Bessemer, Alabama, where Amazon workers, largely African American women, are fighting to unionize.
My picket sign in hand on which is written From 1911 to 2021 by CUNY adjuncts to publicize support for the fired woman workers well join the women laundry workers and then well march past Amazon-owned Whole Foods, to show solidarity with Amazon workers, and then to the site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire - From 1911 to 2021.
