Black text on white page that reads:

In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.

None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.

We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.

Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.

87 years ago today-Sep. 1, 1939-Nazi Germany invaded Poland, beginning World War II in Europe. The US didn't enter the war until after Japan's Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. All told, 60-85 million people (civilian and military) died in history's deadliest war. Image: New York Times.
