NEW YORK -- The 2024 New York City Labor Day Parade stepped off a celebration of workers' solidarity on Saturday.
Tens of thousands of workers representing more than 200 unions are coming together along the parade route in Manhattan.
This year's theme is "All Workers, Many Voices, One Fight," which highlights their common goal of advocating for fair treatment.
The theme of last year's parade was "We Organize, We Rise," as several labor groups were on strike at the time, including the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA.
The parade in New York City is the oldest and largest Labor Day parade in the U.S.
