September 1 is Labor Day
holiday in the United States and Canada. It is a day
honoring the men and women who built the labor movement
through their struggle and sacrifice so that all working
Americans and Canadians could enjoy dignity in the
workplace and a standard of living unparalleled in the
world.
Labor Day is a day to reflect so we don't lose sight of
the achievements organized labor has won for all of us.
Through its continuous and tireless efforts, we have:
- the 40-hour work week
- paid vacations
- occupational safety and health laws
- paid holidays
- seniority rights
- unemployment benefits
- health and welfare benefits
- child labor laws
- wage increases
Protect yourself, your family and your union. Register
and vote for pro-labor, pro-people candidates.
There can be no free and democratic society where free
and democratic unions do not exist.
