Labour in Saint John is celebrating its day this year with a picnic in Rockwood Park but District Labour Council president Ron Oldfield tells CHSJ News there won't be a parade this year thanks to a jump in the price of insurance.

Oldfield says the spike in the insurance cost is being blamed on the fallout from the violence at the G-20 summit in Toronto in late June but he's vowing the parade will return next year.

Today's labour picnic runs between noon and 3:00 in Rockwood Park. There's no admission and it's open to the public.
