Unions from across Southern California's workforce filled the streets of Wilmington and Banning Park to mark Labor Day by celebrating their collective voice.
In Wilmington on Labor Day, a celebration of workers and unions was marked by a well-attended parade and picnic.
Their aim was to show support for all the workers currently off the job during what's being called a "hot labor summer." "All unions are tied together," said Shomari Davis of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. "Our values overlap, and if all workers are strong then we can all work together to make sure America is better. We are partners with our contractors but we understand SAG-AFTRA and the writers, they need to have more of a partnership with the producers. So that's why we support them.
But it's not just SAG-AFTRA and the WGA -- hotel workers have also been on strike. And Los Angeles city workers took part in a 24-hour strike.In Wilmington, the Labor Day holiday brought not just unions but also marching bands and community groups together to honor workers and their families.
