Happy Labor Day!
September 6, 2021
Labor Day commemorates the struggles of working men and women who fought for many of the things we take for granted today – weekends, the eight-hour workday, the end of child labor, and the right to negotiate as equals for the fair wages and benefits you and your families deserve.
