Let us not forget that the Labor Movement was so pivotal in American History that an entire holiday was declared to honor the American labor movement and the power of collective action by laborers.   I’ll be out and about celebrating Labor Day and the contributions to our worklife that Unions have provided.   I encourage you to do the same.  Some benefits you enjoy that Unions fought for:

1. Unions gave us the weeked!
2. Unions Gave Us Fair Wages And Relative Income Equality
3. Unions Helped End Child Labor
4. Unions Won Widespread Employer-Based Health Coverage
5. Unions Spearheaded The Fight For The Family And Medical Leave Act
