NEWARK--Hundreds turned out on City Hall's front steps for a Labor Day rally and march on Monday.

Workers and their supporters turned out on a beautiful day and listened to more than a dozen speakers.

Gladys Sanchez, a member of 32BJ SEIU, used a megaphone to lead chants calling for higher wages and union rights.

The Rev. Timothy Graff from the Archdiocese of Newark blessed workers and their tools.

After the rally, people marched down Broad Street to Washington Park.
