A "large and loud" labor rally is promised for this morning in support of U.S. Senator Bob Casey.

Hundreds of Philadelphia Building Trades Workers are expected at the Mayfair Diner in Frankford at 8:30 a.m. to support the incumbent democrat.

Local workers, union leaders and elected officials will be there to show their support for Casey who is being challenged by republican Tea Party candidate, Tom Smith.
