May Day 2010: Reunion of the Rank n File band

SP-Toronto — Mon, 03 May 2010 15:18:31 +0000

April 29: Reunion of the Rank n File band – Labour has travelled a long way since workers were hanged in the Cook County Jail fighting for the Eight Hour Day, and we're not going to allow companies like VALE INCO and their political minions to undermine the gains our society has made.

Music has been one of the most powerful tools in building and sustaining our movement for social justice.
