NEW YORK - Members of hundreds of unions are honoring labor by marching in a parade of the city of New York laced also with memories of the terrorist attacks of September 11.
Parade of NYC Central work of the Council will be held Saturday, although it commemorates the labour day. The group says that more than 50 000 members of the Union are expected. They include firefighters and other workers in uniform.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is walking with workers.
Before a mass pre-parade at the Cathedral Saint-Patrick, truck driver and member of the Teamsters Mark Vigilante recalls hauling debris from the site of the World Trade Center after the terrorist attacks of 2001.
One of his friends, firefighter Thomas Kennedy, was killed.
Then that vigilant is reflecting on its raw memories of the attacks, he said "life must go".
