A few hundred people, mostly Democratic supporters, chose to spend their holiday morning gathered together listening to speeches focused on the economy and future jobs.

Kaine spoke on his campaign with Democractic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and their economic agenda, saying Labor Day is “personal” to him.

Kaine said he and Clinton talked about the economic plan the day after the Democratic National Convention on their bus tour through Pennsylvania.

Biden, a native of Scranton, called Pittsburgh “a second home” during the rally.

“We are going to move into an era over the next 25 years where white-collar workers are going to need us badly,” Biden said.

Staying on message, Kaine outlined Clinton’s plans to build an economy that works for everyone.

“We have to invest in infrastructure and manufacturing. That’s what has made our country great, that’s created a middle class,” he said.

Before wrapping up, the Democratic heavy-hitters didn’t miss a chance to swing at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“We can’t elect a man who belittles our closest allies and embraces (Russian President Vladimir) Putin… for his own gain,” Biden said.

“Even Richard Nixon produced his tax returns. If you can’t meet the ethical standard of Richard Nixon, I mean, God help you, folks,” Kaine said.

Leo Gerad, national president of the United Steelworkers, Gov. Tom Wolf, President of the Allegheny County Labor Council Jack Shea, Pennsylvania Congressmen Mike Doyle and Tim Murphy, Pennsylvania Senate Democratic Leader Jay Costa, Pennsylvania House of Representatives Minority Leader Frank Dermody, Allegheny County Chief Executive Rich Fitzgerald, Mayor Bill Peduto and others were present for the speeches.
