NYSUT celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month with a new poster honoring May Chen, an American labor organizer and advocate for immigrant workers who helped organize the 1982 garment workers’ strike, one of the largest Asian American worker actions in history. Twenty thousand primarily Chinese and Hong Kong immigrant women workers marched from Manhattan’s Chinatown to Columbus Park, rallying for safer working conditions, better wages and for management to observe the Confucian principles of fairness and respect.
