Labor Day Parade Long Island & New York City
This year the Labor Day parade in New York City will not be held. The Assicated Press recently reported that instead the Central Labor Council will hold a rally on September 8th at the World Trade Center site. The change is done to highlight labor issues related to the long-term impact of the attack on 9/11. Many first responders have suffered ongoing health problems. This umbrella group of unions decided that shifting the labor day parade would bring attention to the chronic health effects and the need for ongoing monitoring, and for medical treatment and worker’s compensation.
