Labor Day Redux

This Monday most of us will be enjoying a day off, celebrating the last unofficial (long) weekend of summer. This well-deserved holiday makes it a little hard to remember that Labor Day became a national holiday because of labor unions, who have fought for many years on behalf of working people.

In the spirit of the holiday we suggest re-reading our recent post about the role of the labor movement past and present in the Village.

Happy Labor Day Weekend.
