OK, No Labor Day Parade for Mayoral Hoprefuls-- but What Instead?

New York politicians are the people who should REALLY be singing " I Love A Parade"--but things will be different on Labor Day this year..

No Labor Day Parade for local candidates

The annual march up Fifth Ave. is being replaced with a massive union Get Out The Vote operation, even though labor can’t agree on who should be mayor.

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.
