Dear Chicago Federation of Labor Affiliates and Delegates,

Join the Illinois Labor History Society, the Chicago Federation of Labor and Jobs with Justice for May Day 2014 to celebrate International Workers’ Day and march for workers’ rights.

Thursday, May 1
Haymarket Monument
Corner of Randolph & Des Plaines in Chicago

Program begins at 3:00 p.m.

March kicks off at 3:45 p.m.

This year marks the 125th anniversary of the first celebrated International Workers Day. To honor this milestone, members of the French General Confederation of Labor will place an international commemorative plaque on the Haymarket Memorial. After the ceremony, we will march for Immigration Justice.

International Workers’ Day commemorates the Haymarket martyrs and the injustice of the Haymarket Affair. No single event has influenced the history of labor in Illinois, the United States, and even the world, more than the Chicago Haymarket Affair.
