FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 A march for immigration rights was held in Fresno as people around the world are celebrating ‘International Workers Day’ or ‘May Day.’<\/p>\n
The event, organized by the ‘May First Coalition,’ was aimed at recognizing that immigrants are essential members of the working class.<\/p>\n
, The group said it is the only coalition in Fresno participating in solidarity with partners and workers across the state who are taking part in a \u201cNo Work, No School, No Shopping\u201d pledge aimed at disrupting business as usual and demonstrating the collective economic power of working families.<\/p>\n
CVWC also plans to announce how workers across the eight-county Central Valley can connect with the coalition for assistance and support on workplace issues, including wage theft, retaliation, worker health and safety, and other workplace concerns.<\/p>\n
Worker centers, unions and community-based organizations are also calling for fair wages, safe working conditions, and protections for immigrant families, citing ongoing attacks on immigrant and worker rights across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif.
