The New York State AFL-CIO celebrated the power and solidarity of the union movement on Labor Day with the Michael L. Burns Labor Day Celebration at Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy.

The event was free for union members and their families to attend, and nonperishable food items were collected for donations to the local food bank.
