And yes, let's not overlook that quote at the bottom of this--
"Power concedes nothing without a demand--It never did and it never will."
--Frederick Douglass
Never forget.
And happy Labor Day!

Quote of the Day -- Labor Day Edition!

Happy Labor Day!
Yes sir and ma'am! Happy Labor Day!
"Without labor, nothing prospers."

Most Americans Don't Know the Origins of Labor Day
And we should. We should know how we got here in this country. We shouldn't and don't want to go backward.
The Pullman Strike of 1894 not only gave the US a national holiday, it also legitimized unionism and defined the modern labor movement

On This Labor Day...
On this Labor Day, let’s ensure large corporations pay the taxes they owe us. When they do, we’ll be able to grow our economy and invest in workers and our communities.
Americans for Tax Fairness
Together we are fighting for a tax system that works for all Americans, not just the wealthy few.
Thank you and happy Labor Day weekend.
Frank Clemente
Executive Director

The Labor History Americans Forget
The Labor Union struggles and fights that brought us to where we are today. Here's one of them. The companies and corporations don't have the people in mind, not even their own needed employees.

What Workers Never Get From Republican Officeholders
Want to see what the average worker in America no way gets from any Republican member of Congress or, God forbid, resident in the White House. This:
Obama observes Labor Day, extends contractors' paid leave
WASHINGTON (AP) — Showing solidarity with workers on Labor Day, President Barack Obama will sign an executive order Monday requiring paid sick leave for employees of federal contractors, including 300,000 who currently receive none.
These things that support workers and the working class and middle and lower classes, they never come from Republicans anymore. They haven't come from Republicans in the last 100 years.
Keep that in mind come any election day.

Labor Day, 2013
"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." --Abraham Lincoln
