PITTSBURGH, PA - Every year, Pittsburgh hosts the largest Labor Day parade in the country.
Over 20,000 union members gather before the march in a series of parking lots next to the hockey stadium and assemble to be cheered on by thousands of union supporters lining the sidewalks.
As you enter the parking lot, you can feel the energy in the parking lots as marching bands from local high schools and strangers come up to one another, wishing them a "Happy Labor Day."
"This is our party. Everyone who is a worker can come down here," former state Auditor General Eugene DePasquele, now running for PA state Attorney General. A native of Pittsburgh, his grandfather was the head of the baseball ticket ushers union at the old Forbes Field.
