    Labor Day March & Rally: United Against Racism

    Teamsters Local 251 will honor this year’s Labor Day by participating in the Labor United Against Racism Labor’s Day March and Rally being organized by Rhode Island Jobs with Justice.

    All members, their families and friends, are encouraged to attend the March & Rally on Monday, September, 4 starting at 12:30 PM, beginning at Burnside Park and ending at the State House lawn in Providence.

    This Labor Day, all working people are called upon to unite against the corporate greed that continues to rig the rules to benefit the 1% and to stand against the bigotry and racist violence that threatens our communities.

    We stand together with all members of our communities who are seeking social, racial and economic justice, an economy that works for all of us, and a society free of the evils of racism and white supremacist hate. Anti-Racist Labor Day March & Rally
    Monday, September 4 starting at 12:30 PM
    Beginning at Burnside Park ending at the State House
    Providence, Rhode Island
    Hosted by Rhode Island Jobs with Justice (www.rijwj.wordpress.com)





    IN 2017 THE ABOVE POSTER WAS CIRCULATED TO LOCAL 251 MEMBERS AND ALL RANK AND FILE MEMBERS, OFFICERS, BA'S, AND STAFF WERE ADVISED AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.
    THERE IS NOTHING CURRENTLY POSTED ON THE LOCAL 251 WEBSITE REGARDING LABOR DAY, AND NOTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY RUFFLE THE FEATHERS OF SEAN O'BRIEN,
    ENABLER- IN-CHEIF OF THE US LABOR MOVEMENT'S SUPPORT FOR THE TRUMP/MAGA RACIST AND FASCIST ANTI-WORKER ACTIONS, POLICIES, AND CRIMINAL DEALINGS. THIS EVENT WAS HELD ABOUT FOUR YEARS BEFORE THE MATT TAIBI LED LOCAL 251 UNITED ACTION SLATE CAMPAIGN PROMISING A LOCAL UNION THAT WOULD FIGHT FOR AND ENACT TDU'S THEN (now defunct) RANK AND FILE BILL OF RIGHTS.
