Enjoy the Holiday weekend 😎

As the summer dwindles to a close and we approach a weekend of rejoice with Family and Friends over Bar-B-Q or a game of cards, remember that labor unions of the late 19th Century pushed the Holiday and won.

Enjoy it and please drink responsibility. Stay safe!

The workforce for the better. This weekend should remind us of the sacrifices some have made for us to have safer work conditions, equity in the workplace, benefits like sick pay,health insurance and many other issues that were negotiated in good faith that now, most companies have offered their employees that are not represented with a Union. Have a safe Labor Day Weekend 👋
