Hard Hat Demonstration takes place at City Hall.
May 7, 1976
Some 2,000 construction workers march on City Hall to protest work stoppages and threats to their jobs. The demonstration comes after a confrontation that morning at a South End construction site between union workers and members of the Third World Workers Association, who were calling for 50% of the jobs on construction sites in minority neighborhoods to go to minorities.
