The AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union and the Laborers’ International Union of North America will partner with Occupy Wall Street for “We are the 99 percent” rallies on Thursday.

Many of the events, union officials said, will be focused on urging lawmakers to pass more federal funding for infrastructure. Bill Samuel, the AFL-CIO’s director of government affairs, said labor has been frustrated by Republican-led filibusters in the Senate to block the parts of President Obama’s jobs bill that would increase infrastructure spending. “It is an effort to focus public attention on repairing bridges and help with the jobs crisis.
