NDP leader Thomas Mulcair was among the thousands of participants in this year's Toronto Labour Day parade. Nearly 100 Machinists participated.

"That so many people would come out to the parade on a holiday says a lot about the vitality of our labour movement," commented General Vice-President Dave Ritchie.
