Thousands of police, fire and teachers union members rallied to demand higher pay raises than the 3% New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg was willing to give them.

"After 9/11 ... they said, 'We will never forget,' " Patrolmen's Benevolent Assn. President Patrick Lynch told the rally outside City Hall. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to stand here and report that they have forgotten."
