Gray skies and a steady drizzle didn't keep people from marching through the streets and lining the sidewalks for the annual Barberton Labor Day Parade.
While Labor Day symbolizes the end of summer and is celebrated with street parties, cookouts and family gatherings, it's also a chance for the Magic City to step off the tradition that dates back decades.
Stephanie Coffield and her children were among the spectators on Wooster Road. Coffield's husband was in the parade as a member of Local 18 Operating Engineers. "There's so much to thank labor for: our collective bargaining process, our 40-hour work week, health care, paid vacation. You can go down the list," Prentice said."Right now, unions are enjoying about a 70% approval rating nationwide which is the highest it's been since 1965. People are recognizing that there is room for labor unions and labor unions are not necessarily bad.
Prentice added that not having enough workers in many jobs is putting more pressure on those who are working.
