Quinn marks anniversary of Chicago strike

Gov. Pat Quinn is marking the sixth anniversary of a labor strike at a downtown Chicago hotel.

Quinn will join union and other officials outside the Congress Plaza Hotel later in the day.

Strikers walking the picket line are a familiar sight outside the hotel on Michigan Avenue.

Quinn isn't the only high-profile politician to stand with strikers outside the hotel.

During his presidential campaign, President Barack Obama also walked the picket line.
