Rally

May Day is an annual celebration of our collective strength as working people and our shared commitment to a better world. This year’s May Day event begins at 4:30 PM on Wed., May 1 with a rally in Union Square followed at 5:15 PM by a march down Broadway to City Hall, where PSC president Barbara Bowen will be among the speakers.

Come join Research Foundation Central Office employees as they rally for fair salaries and paid parental leave and protest against reduced compensation and benefits for new hires.

Organized by the New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO.

Participants come from all around the tri-state area and last year we had about 50,000 members who marched. This year promises to be even more exciting, with family-friendly events planned during and after the parade.

This year’s May Day event will begin at 4:00 PM on Tuesday, May 1, with a rally at Union Square. A march from Union Square, through Foley Square and on to Wall Street will begin at 5:30 PM. The PSC contingent will gather at 5pm, for the purpose of marching together, at the northeast part of Union Square Park opposite Barnes & Noble.
