Pride at Work AFL-CIO Rochester Finger Lakes Chapter
If you believe that the fight for social justice doesn't just stop at the doorsteps of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, but that true social justice means an end to racial discrimination, sexism, the right to join a union, the right to a living wage and health care, and peace above war, then you belong with Pride At Work.

#StandUpUAW Rally in Rochester
While the plant in Rochester has not yet gone on strike, that doesn't mean that they won't. We are standing up to fight alongside their union siblings who are on strike!
We rallied today with the United Auto Workers to demonstrate that Rochester is a Union Town and that if and when these workers do go out on strike, they have our support!
