One thousand people marched through downtown Ottawa to celebrate Labour Day on Monday while reflecting on concerns about the softening Canadian job market. CTV's Josh Marano reports that Ottawa and District Labour Council president Sean McKenny says uncertainty about the economy and the future of certain industries is weighing heavily on union members. United Steelworkers security guard David Meinzinger notes that the ongoing trade dispute is hurting employees in the automotive sector where supply chains cross the border multiple times. Despite these economic worries, Local 93 carpenter Tristan Mallett says steady construction on major infrastructure projects and private housing developments is keeping work manageable in the region.
