NTA delegates joined thousands of fellow delegates to NYSUT's annual Representative Assembly, as well as other NYSUT members, their friends and supporters, who marched en masse to Times Square in New York City on Saturday, April 9, 2011 in support of workers' rights.
The April 9 rally was the culmination of the national AFL-CIO's "We Are One" Week of Action, planned to build on the momentum generated by the events in Wisconsin. Sisters and brothers in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and many other states face the loss of their collective bargaining rights, and workers' rights in New York are also under attack. Chants of "We are ONE!" rang down a tunnel of skyscrapers as unionists rallied five thick blocks around Times Square, to stand strong for workers' rights.
