US unions: Over one million demonstrate



From Honolulu to Savannah We Are One Actions Continue

We Are One solidarity actions in support of workers in Wisconsin, Ohio and everywhere middle-class jobs are under attack continue throughout out the nation this week. The events coincide with the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in Memphis, Tenn., 43 years ago this week where he was helping sanitation workers fight for justice, workers’ rights. 

In over 1200 demonstrations across the US unions have demonstrated through a bottom-up, grassroots movement with its own momentum, a true spontaneous outcry against a prevailing winner-take-all political culture.
