GRAND RAPIDS, MI Touting the need for strong unions to protect American workers, supporters of several Grand Rapids-area labor groups rallied Saturday to celebrate International Workers Day.
The rally happened next to the Spirit of Solidarity monument at Pearl Street NW and Front Avenue, near the Gerald R. Ford Museum.
The monument is a tribute to the “The Great Furniture Strike of 1911″ in Grand Rapids, which generally led to better wages and shift hours for workers.
