On Monday, September 2, 2024, the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor Labor Coalition will celebrate the 45th Annual Labor Solidarity Parade and Picnic Rally. We are proud to celebrate such a significant milestone as this will be our 45th Anniversary! Working people across America are facing many challenges in the workplace, specifically artificial intelligence (AI). The question is how will AI affect working class people and their unions? We are now facing the reality of AI at the bargaining table, most recently the Writers Guild strike and SAG-AFTRA faced this threat. AI will create job loss and economic hardship to many communities. Collective bargaining is the most powerful instrument against AI along with demanding inclusion in the design, development, and implementation of such technology. We must protect workers rights as AI technology and robotics are not vested in our communities, nor do they pay taxes, pension, health and welfare funds. We must bargain cautiously and protect the future of the labor movement at all costs! Please join us on September 2, 2024, as we celebrate our 45th Anniversary. Our theme this year is: Fighting for The Future of Labor! We encourage you to participate in our Best Decorated float contest; trophies will be awarded. Be creative, festive, and original!
