Daily News | On Labor Day in Philly, unions celebrated with a parade but warned of challenges ahead
A sea of rainbow shirts, drumlines, banners, and patriotic-looking floats filled Christopher Columbus Boulevard in Philadelphia on Monday morning as the annual Labor Day Parade marched along the Delaware River waterfront. But amid the celebration were serious calls to action.
Parade organizers, a Democratic-leaning group, stressed the importance of what’s at stake on the ballot this November. Election anxieties ranged for the diverse group of workers assembled under the AFL-CIO umbrella, numbering around 200,000 locally. Lovett-Hall also focused on economic issues, saying, “Everything is going up but our paychecks have not changed.”
Melissa Robbins, a political strategist, civil rights activist, and candidate for Philadelphia City Council at-large, said the right to fair wages, health care for workers, and civil rights issues are on the ballot this fall.
