King parade focuses on labor rights By GILLIAN FLACCUS, AP
LOS ANGELES -- City and state leaders and union officials rallied behind striking Southern California grocery workers at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade that highlighted King's commitment to labor rights.
Thousands gathered in balmy weather to watch the parade, in which high school marching bands and prancing horses shared the route with striking workers and a Teamsters truck that honked every few feet.
Organizers said nonunion retail giant Wal-Mart wanted to sponsor the parade for the slain civil rights leader, but city councilman Martin Ludlow intervened and asked the AFL-CIO and local unions to sponsor the parade.------------------------------------------- posted 6:51 PM :: reference link ::
