San Francisco labor rally draws 70 000 protesters
A massive San Francisco labor march drew about 70 000 protesters, far exceeding the 15 000 expected. AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland and other leaders addressed the crowd at City Hall, condemning Reagan era unemployment and endorsing Democratic candidates from state assembly to U S Senate. The demonstration featured labor groups ranging from carpenters to teachers marching three hours along Market Street to rally for jobs and justice.
