Mayoral candidates won’t be courting union votes in the Labor Day
Parade — the annual march up Fifth Ave. has been replaced with a massive
union Get Out The Vote operation.
From Sept. 2 until Primary Day, Sept. 10, the Central Labor Council is stumping for City Council candidates. Scott Stringer, fighting Eliot Spitzer for the Democratic nod for Controller, will get union help, but labor was unable to agree on which mayoral candidate to back.
