A Diego Rivera Mural to remind you of all that Detroit's laborers have done to help you have a better life |
As regular readers (both of you) well know, Labor Day is one of emaycee's favorite holidays of the year, because he gets to remind you that A) thanks to labor unions, you have paid holidays, paid vacations, healthcare, a living wage, safer workplace conditions, and just about every other benefit you can name (what you think American businesses is going to give all that out of the goodness of their hearts--get fucking real), and B) that workers who belong to a union have better pay, better benefits, better workplace safety, and more job security.
Enough said!
Pete Seeger is going to play us out, with his version of Woody Guthrie's "Union Maid" (I've used it before on Labor Day, but it's a classic)--in case you were wondering, I'm sticking to the unions, too:
Fuck Donald Trump,
emaycee
