Some people in San Francisco are spending Labor Day calling for better wages and decrying what they say is “rising authoritarianism” in the United States.<\/p>\n
The rally at the federal courthouse is part of a renewed push to embrace the city’s activist Labor Day traditions, which date back to the 19th century.<\/p>\n

Instead, the rally is more reminiscent of San Francisco’s earliest labor demonstrations, which date back to the late 1860s \u2014 more than two decades before Labor Day became a federal holiday.<\/p>\n
