This resolution commends the New York City Central Labor Council (NYCCLC) for hosting its 143rd Annual Labor Day Parade on September 6, 2025, recognizing the organization's significant contributions to workers' rights and representation. The NYCCLC is highlighted as the nation's largest regional labor federation, representing over one million workers across various industries and sectors, including teachers, truck drivers, nurses, construction workers, and many others. The resolution provides historical context by noting that the first Labor Day parade in the United States took place in Manhattan in 1882, and emphasizes Labor Day's importance in acknowledging workers' achievements in securing fair wages, safer working conditions, reasonable hours, and weekends off. The NYCCLC is praised for bringing together 300 local unions from both public and private sectors, and the parade is expected to draw thousands of workers, families, unions, and supporters in a powerful display of solidarity. By passing this resolution, the legislative body aims to celebrate and recognize the organization's noble aims and significant achievements in supporting working people of New York City.
