DC 37 Celebrates Italian Heritage

The union and supporters packed the house for the 26th DC 37 Italian Heritage Celebration. The Oct. 6 event honored the contributions of Italian-Americans, including their central role in the growth of the U.S. labor movement. “Our heritage is a tapestry woven with stories of courage, resilience, and passion,” said Michael DeMarco, President of NYC Traffic Employees Local 1455 and Chair of the DC 37 Italian Heritage Committee. “From the early immigrants who crossed the ocean in search of a better life to the countless individuals who have enriched our society with their talents and hard work, the Italian-American journey is one of inspiration and pride.”
