Bethlehem's First Labor Day Parade in Fifty Years

Democratic Talk Radio blogger Stephen Crockett reports that the United Steelworkers will sponsor a Labor Day parade, starting at 10:30 am at Main and Spring Streets in Bethlehem. According to Crockett, it will be the Christmas City's first Labor Day parade in over fifty years.

He wants to turn his '97 Ford Explorer into a "rolling billboard" for the union movement, and is asking for union stickers to plaster all over his ride. If you have a bumper sticker for Steve, you can drop it off at USW Local 2599 Hall in Bethlehem, PA (53 East Lehigh Street) or The Mailroom union print shop in Allentown, PA (1231 Airport Road).

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
