Hood River, Ore., May 2, 2024 – Hood River Latino Network (HRLN) hosted an International Worker’s Day March in the heights of Hood River on May 1 to raise awareness for working conditions and labor rights.
Every year, workers around the world gather to advocate for fair wages, hours, working conditions, and labor rights. The event is both a celebration of fair labor practices and a call to action for improvements.
