HAPPY LABOR DAY. SETH MOULTON.


David,
Happy Labor Day.

Today, I’m particularly thankful for the achievements of American workers—from the unions that built our middle class to the labor movement that created a fairer and more equitable workplace for everyone in America.

Without American workers who courageously risked their jobs to speak up, organize and protest, we would not be able to celebrate this weekend. In fact, we wouldn’t even have a weekend because it was labor unions and their rank and file who fought so hard to give us the five-day, 40-hour workweek.

But on this 125th anniversary of Labor Day, let’s take a moment to remember how far we still have to go. We’re the only advanced industrial nation that doesn’t guarantee paid maternity leave. Or vacation. Or paid sick days. And if we’re going to solve those problems, we’ve got to do it together.

That’s the fight that lies ahead of us. So rest up this weekend, enjoy yourselves, and get ready—because on Tuesday, that fight begins anew.
