Description: Various images taken at a workers' parade held in Havana's Civic Plaza (later called the Plaza de la Revolución) celebrating labor unions, peasants, militias and the Revolutionary Armed Forces' unconditional support for the government. Among the marchers, a number of labor union members hold banners asking for the Cuban military to take over and manage their centers of employment. In this print, frame 13 of the second row shows a banner reading "Queremos adiestramiento para defender revolución. FNOEC." Frames 14 and 15 show workers holding another banner that reads "Pedimos adiestramiento militar para obreros. Remington Rand." Frame 6 of the last row shows port workers of the Puerto de Mariel carrying a banner that features the painted image of an octopus and frame 8 of the top row documents the participation of stevedores.
