Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day!

September 2, 2024

While many Americans take in the holiday as a celebration of Summer family fun, we in the labor movement observe the true spirit of Labor Day by honoring working people, the contributions they make, and the sacrifices they give. As union members, we challenge the status quo, fight back against corporate greed and demand respect and dignity in the workplace. This is a day to reflect that important and ongoing work.
