Labor Unions To Rally At Grant Park

ABC 7 Chicago:

Not much coverage of union Labor Day rallies across the country. We had one TV station and were lucky to get 30 seconds.

C.S. Great reminder. Easy to forget in the land of information/financial industry workers. Some folks still put their whole physical being into doing the actually necessary labor of our country.
