Labor Photo: NoVA Labor Celebrates Independence(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Led by the roar of a dozen bikes from the IBEW Local 26 Motorcycle Club, nearly two dozen union members from Northern Virginia marched in the annual Dale City (VA) Independence Day Parade last week.  Among the unions represented were AFT, CWA, IUOE, IUEC, NFFE/IAM, OPEIU, Steamfitters, Washington Building Trades and SIU as well as the IBEW. “Along the route, Steamfitters Local 602 President John Sullivan demonstrated to young and old alike the fine art of tossing and catching water balloons on the hot, humid day,” reports NoVA Labor President Dan Duncan. Other members and their families threw nearly 50 pounds of candy to parade watchers on the two-mile path. Also participating in the annual event were members of IAFF Local 2598 representing Prince William County. - photo by Julie Hunter, OPEIU
