Jacksonville — Labor Day fast approaches, the day of the year celebrated each first Monday of September to recognize the efforts of the American labor movement. You may very well celebrate the extended weekend with a cold drink and sizzling barbecue, but local organizations North Florida Central Labor Council and the North Florida Future Labor Leaders have other plans for the day off.
Both the CLC and NFFLL are calling for a rally of Jacksonville labor unions and workers to lend their voices in support of union and worker’s rights Saturday, August 30th.

Three other rallies are scheduled in Northeast Florida, centered in Jacksonville, Palatka, and Palm Coast on Labor Day.
