The 2017 Charlotte Labor Day Parade is now forming. We are a genuine Labor Day parade, non-profit, and organized by labor unions to yearly remind the community of the history of organized labor and the benefits it brought to all. Our parade features labor organizations, schools, political candidates, car clubs, and civic groups. We hope you can join us in the parade.

Snaking through the downtown district with over 100 homemade floats, the parade showcases the workers, farmers, elected officials, and non-profits that keep the WNC region vibrant and sustainable for all people.  Be sure to arrive an hour early with a lawn chair or blanket to stake claim to a couple square feet of sidewalk.

This Labor Day, join #FightFor15 fast-food workers going on strike in over 300 cities along with community organizations and our neighbors to fight inequality and take to the streets to declare that America Needs Unions!

Unions are still the best way to fix economic and political systems rigged to benefit big corporations. Service sector jobs are the fastest growing jobs in the country, but they're often low paying without benefits. In order to win fair pay, fair schedules, paid family leave, healthcare, and gender and racial equality we must win a union.

RSVP - Share - Spread the word!
