Brian
Tracy,(Iron Workers Local 118), carried a Chavez poster as he marched
under his union banner. Brian said "Chavez importance is that
he was fighting for working people. We're hoping that this march will
get some people awake -- to get them to work against this administration
that doesn't like working people." |

SEIU
Local 1877 (Janitors' Union) members on the march. This photo brings
to mind last Spring, when Local 1877 marched through the streets and
office buildings of Sacramento to bring attention to their stalled
contract negotiations. They were joined then by politicians and members
of other unions and were ultimately successful in gaining a contract
with better health benefits. |

The
police provided a protective presence for the march. Police officers
are also in a union, as are firefighters and workers for most state,
city and county services. |
