Senator Bernie Sanders joined hundreds of workers and activists in Philadelphia for a major May Day rally, focusing on workers' rights and opposition to President Trump's economic policies.
The event, part of a nationwide day of action, brought together hotel, stadium, and airport food service workers, many of whom are union members. Sanders used the platform to criticize Trump's approach to tariffs and his administration's stance on labor issues, framing the struggle as a fight against oligarchy and for the rights of working people. The rally highlighted growing economic uncertainty and called for stronger resistance from Democrats and labor groups.
May Day, traditionally a day for labor activism, was marked by calls for solidarity among workers and immigrants.

Love seeing Bernie out there on May Day—this is exactly the kind of worker solidarity and pushback against corporate greed we need if we’re ever going to build a fairer, more democratic economy.

Here we go again with Bernie pushing his socialist agenda and blaming Trump for everything. Maybe if these union leaders cared more about real job growth and less about big government handouts, workers would actually see lasting benefits.
