While President Trump is threatening to deploy the National Guard to Chicago, Tuesday's announcement took on a different meaning.

Union leaders say the Trump administration is attacking average working Americans.

The Coalition of Labor and Community leaders and advocacy groups outlined their "Workers over billionaires Chicago Labor Day Rally."

The group joined at the Haymarket Memorial sculpture in downtown. The sculpture commemorates the bombing of a crowd on the evening of May 4, 1886. The crowd was protesting the violent deaths of workers during a labor lockout.

On Tuesday, organizers accused the Trump Administration of slashing Medicaid for millions and ripping up federal union contracts.

Pastor Jamal Bryant, who is leading the boycott against target will also join the march and rally on Sept. 1.
