(NEW YORK CITY) – With this year's theme - "We Organize, We Rise," the New York City AFL-CIO Central Labor Council held its annual Labor Day Parade over the weekend, with New York Nurses Association President Nancy Hagans serving at the parade’s Grand Marshal.

The parade kicked off at 44th Street and continued along Fifth Avenue on Saturday (September 9th).

New York Governor Kathy Hochul also took part in the parade.

The event comes as several labor groups are on strike, including the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).

The New York City Labor Council represents 1.3 million workers in some 300 New York-area Unions.

At least 200 Labor Council-affiliated Unions marched in this year’s parade.
