Happy Labor Day! Thank you to the generations that came before us, for establishing the Union and bargaining for the rights we’ve enjoyed.

Today isn’t just a day off. It’s a day to recognize the generations of workers who walked picket lines, organized their coworkers, and refused to back down so every generation after them could have it better.

Check out this article on the benefits of developing a union workforce from the Economic Policy Institute

Foreword Imagine union membership tripling in the United States. It may sound radical—if you’ve forgotten history. In fact, more than 1 in 3 private-sector workers belonged to a union in the 1950s.
