Workers in the Garment Industry and their supporters rally in the Garment Center in New York on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 to prevent the rezoning of the area. The Bloomberg administration is seeking a zoning change which will spur real estate development in the area forcing many of the businesses out. There are more than 800 fashion related companies in New York employing 175,000 people with the Garment Center forming the backbone of the industry. (© Richard B. Levine)
