Unions throw a big parade and give speeches about fighting for working families.
The locals hold noisy lunchtime protests. Even though its at odds with the AFL-CIO's national strategy, it's a longstanding tradition that's probably not about to change. After all, it only takes one party to kill a bill. The two conscientious objectors were Ray Markey and Christine Karatnytsky of the tiny librarian's union. I guess it was pretty comical.
