LYNN — For more than 100 years, workers around the world have been fighting for fair wages and better working conditions. With hundreds of people packed outside of City Hall rallying before the city’s annual “May Day March for Immigrant and Worker Rights,” it’s clear the fight is still in progress.
The city’s union representatives, activists and members of various community groups joined workers around the world who took part in similar May Day marches on Wednesday. Since the 1880s, May Day has shared a date with International Workers’ Day.
