Happy Labor Day!





Got plans this Labor Day weekend? With all that’s going on in our lives, it’s easy to forget that honoring America’s workers is what Labor Day is all about.

Here are some ideas on how you can celebrate Labor Day:

    Watch the AFL-CIO national TV ad during Major League Baseball games Sunday and Monday, the Sunday NASCAR race and college football on Monday night. The ad will remind television viewers and radio listeners that it’s working people working together who will move our country forward.

    Tune in to the Sportsman Channel. In partnership with the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA), Sportsman Channel will pay tribute to America’s workers with a continual run of public service announcements over Labor Day weekend featuring Richard Trumka, AFL-CIO president and USA chairman.

    Find out which employers are treating their workers well—and what’s going on nationwide and around the world when it comes to workers’ basic freedoms.
    Take the next step and become a mobile activist. Get action alerts as part of the AFL-CIO Good Jobs Now team by texting JOBS to 225568.
As AFL-CIO President Trumka says: “Working people working together have always moved our country forward and that’s how we’ll do it again.”

As we celebrate this Labor Day, let’s remember America’s workers built our nation—and America’s workers are what make America strong.

Happy Labor Day from the AFL-CIO!
