00:00Loud and proud, unions marched through the Darwin's CBD on a day for workers.
00:09Union! Power! Union! Power!
00:13Shoulder to shoulder with union members, NT Senator Malindiri McCarthy and member for Solomon, Luke Gosling.
00:20The wind in their sails after the Labor Party's resounding win at the weekend's federal election.
