The /c/unions community kept getting non union general labor interest posts and shockingly there are not really many general labor focused communities on Lemmy. So I've made one here.

" Hundreds of thousands of #workers rallied from coast to coast Thursday to mark International Workers' Day with spirited demonstrations supporting labor rights and protesting President Donald #Trump's "billionaire agenda" and attacks on the rule of law, #unions, #immigrants, #Palestine defenders, transgender people, and others.

Rallies took place in hundreds of cities and towns across the United States in what the #MayDayStrong coalition, which led the day of action along with the 50501 movement and others, called "a demand for a country that invests in working families—not billionaire profits." "
