Around 1,000 labor union members are scheduled to walk through downtown San Diego Monday in the sixth annual Cesar Chavez Day March.
The event has become the largest of the year for the San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council, according to the umbrella organization that represents the region’s unions.
A rally is scheduled before the march at Spanish Landing Park near Lindbergh Field to highlight issues for workers in the year ahead. The march will wind up at the Community Concourse next to City Hall.
Among those scheduled to participate are San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, San Diego Unified School District trustee Richard Barrera and Labor Council CEO Lorena Gonzalez, who is running for the open Assembly seat in the southern part of San Diego County.
