🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from IAFF Local 1158! 🇺🇸

Today, we recognize the generations of working men and women whose hard work, sacrifice, and solidarity built the communities we proudly serve.

Labor Day is also a reminder that many of the protections working families enjoy today were earned because workers stood together and fought for a better tomorrow.

To our Local 1158 brothers and sisters — and to working people everywhere — thank you for what you do each and every day.

Stay safe, enjoy the holiday, and never forget: there is strength in solidarity. 🇺🇸🔥
