The 5,000 member SEIU-SOULA (Security Officers United in Los Angeles) Local 2006 will join community organizations in a three-mile march to commemorate the 41st anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s death. The march will focus on the issues that Dr. King fought for all his life: quality jobs, quality education, safe neighborhoods--and, of course, the link between civil rights and labor movements that Dr. King worked so hard to forge.

"The coalition that can have the greatest impact in the struggle for human dignity here in America is that of the blacks and forces of labor, because their fortunes are so closely intertwined," said Dr. King. "Our needs are identical with labor's needs: Decent wages, fair working conditions, liveable housing, old-age security, health and welfare measures, conditions in which families can grow, have education for their children, and respect in the community."

Speaking about the focus on quality jobs, SEIU-SOULA President Faith Culbreath said, "We want to make sure that jobs become good jobs...that the community can benefit from." Read about the April 4th LA march event.
