  1. #MondayMotivation: September 7, 2026 Labor Day

    Happy Labor Day! Take a moment today to remember that the good things that support modern society are thanks to countless labor of ourselves and those who came before to build!

    "For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work." --Jessica Savitch

  2. "the erosion of workers’ legal protections when they seek to form or join a #union (an erosion propelled by employers, judges, and Republicans and not significantly countered by Democrats) has defeated countless organizing campaigns, while financialization, offshoring, and legislation that facilitated wealth concentration and capital’s political influence have combined to decimate unions. Where once they represented one-third of the nation’s private-sector workers, today they represent a mere 6 percent."

  3. Happy Labo(u)r Day to USians and Canadians!

    I thought I'd do a bit on the way bosses launder their killer, anti-worker reputations by giving a pittance to have public universities, galleries, and libraries name things after them, but I got work to do.

    I guess I'll just thank all the workers who sacrificed to fight for the rights I grew up with and leave folks with this link to a US Union-Buster Tracker and The Leveller's 2020 article on union-busting in Canada

  5. US Labor Day landed in September specifically to not be May 1st. International Workers' Day carried socialist associations — the government wanted a different date. So the holiday honoring American labor was designed, in part, around avoiding the other holiday honoring labor. Anyway: long weekend. #laborday #history

  6. RE: mastodon.social/@tusk81/117230

    "Foreign-born workers also make up 'a relatively high share of building cleaning and maintenance workers at US hospitals,' and they deserve their own praise for helping keep facilities safe for patients and clinicians. 'This includes 17% of building cleaning and maintenance workers who are naturalized citizens and another 12% who are noncitizen immigrants,' KFF continued." #LaborDay

    “These healthcare professionals include the nearly 300,000 Black immigrants who work as physicians, registered nurses, and home health aides. Among Haitian immigrants alone, more than 100,000 work as healthcare workers.” #LaborDay

  8. Healthcare. Caregiving. Farmwork. Construction. Hospitality. None of these industries could survive without the skills, labor and dedication of immigrant workers. Their contributions must be honored and remembered this #LaborDay — and everyday.

  9. Happy Labor Day to all the mothers who pushed our fat heads into the world and also to everyone working those Labor Day sales today.

  11. Power company’s IBEW guys just drove by. On THE union holiday. On one hand, sucks to see them out. On the other, I bet they are absolutely RAKING IT IN. 🤑 Good for them.

  12. The 5am beeping garbage truck is bad enough on a normal weekday , but was especially unwelcome on a holiday Monday. Then I felt bad for being annoyed as I was lying in my nice comfy bed and they were out working on Labor Day. #LaborDay

    Happy Labor Day 2026 by Wayne T. Dowdy

    In 2024 I posted a different version of this blog that I am repeating for 2026 because the thought remains the same: Happy Labor Day!

    Happy Labor Day to everyone who performs their duties and services for the sake of mankind. In this blog I am including a quote from another blog I wrote in 2019, Labor Day and a Personal Memorial Day.

    What is the meaning of Labor Day?

    “Do you get weekends off work? Lunch breaks? Paid vacation? An eight-hour workday? Social security? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, you can thank labor unions and the U.S. labor movement for it. Years of hard-fought battles (and the ensuing legislation they inspired) resulted in many of the most basic benefits we enjoy at our jobs today. On the first Monday in September, we take the day off to celebrate Labor Day and reflect on the American worker’s contributions to our country.”  https://nationaltoday.com/labor-day/

    America celebrates Labor Day in honor of the working men and women who make America great. I will work today at a Goodwill of North Georgia store in McDonough, Georgia. (I stopped working for Goodwill of North Georgia on August 14, 2024, because I felt that the organization become a predatory company that preyed off their lower-level employees and customers, with reduced wage compensation and increased prices during a time when Americans are suffering from the effects of inflation.)

    The work I do does/did not compare to work done by those who serve in the military, in America and abroad, as well as the emergency responders and all others who serve and protect the public. Pro-war, anti-war, anti-government, or whatever, in my opinion, those brave men and women deserve praise and to be honored; especially, the fallen men and women we celebrate on Memorial Day who gave their lives.

    Made while Hine travelled the U.S. for the National Child Labor Committee documenting child labor — in factories, textile mills, canneries, and coal mines.
