"Union workers have become the first group to break up the uniform demographic. By lunch time several benches were peopled with construction workers and electricians on break from work at the nearby World Trade Center site. They come at that hour every day, they said.“I’m not part of the protest but I’m not against it either,” said Lord Monroe, a Local 46 metal lather. “They’re complaining about the same stuff we do but we just won’t take their action. We don’t want to fail. So I tip my hat to them for trying.”
“Some say the group looks silly. But it’s not. It’s proof positive–they’ve been out here a week now, covering their heads in plastic when it rains,” he said."
