00:02Well, the annual Labor Day Parade underway in Detroit with labor leaders, lawmakers, and the public coming together.
00:08Joining us live at the latest, WWJ's John Hewitt and a big annual tradition, of course, John.
00:14Over 100 years old, Greg, stepping off at Michigan and Trumbull about an hour ago now, just after 9 a
00:20.m., and it is still ongoing.
00:22A combination of the weather, obviously election season and tariffs and labor, all of it factoring into a big turnout
00:31here today.
00:32Among those on hand, UAW President Sean Fain, who is looking ahead to an election two months from now.
00:38It's all about taking back power for working people.
00:40I mean, we've got to elect people that give a damn about workers, not billionaires and corporate class people.
00:44I mean, unfortunately, our political system has been hijacked by the richest people in the world.
00:49So, I mean, it's everything we're fighting, every contract fight we go into, every organizing drive we go into.
00:55It's about, you know, workers getting their fair share.
00:57It's not about people getting rich.
00:58It's just about people being able to live and survive, and a lot of Americans can't afford the bills right
01:02now.
01:03Everyone gathering over west of the walk-off point here in Michigan in Trumbull down to Roosevelt Park in front
01:09of Michigan Central Station,
01:10about a half mile or so away, where there will be some statements made to the assembled crowd out on
01:16the lawn.
01:16That's set to take place, reporting live in Corktown, John Hewitt, WWJ Newsradio 950.
01:28How you doing?
