HAPPY LABOR DAY!

Happy Labor Day, everybody!

And since it’s Labor Day, I want to take a moment to think nice thoughts about labor unions.  They’re not just the people who brought you Labor Day weekend. They’re the people who brought you the weekend. Period.

They’re the people who brought you the eight hour work day, and time and a half for overtime if you work more than that. They’re the people who brought you workplace safety laws.  They’re the people who brought you child labor laws. Etc. Etc. Etc.
