Two days before May 1, recognized as International Workers’ Day, Council Member Alexa Avilés hosted a Labor Town Hall in the cafeteria at Sunset Park High School. The April 29 event focused on the current state of workers’ struggles in New York City, the importance of labor organizing, and workers’ rights.
City and state agencies, including the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, the New York Legal Assistance Group, the New York State Department of Labor, and the Freelancers Union, hosted resource tables providing information about worker protections and legal resources.
