HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that all of you are enjoying this final holiday weekend of the summer. Please realize the sacrifices of the working men and women who made this possible. It is a sad state that we are in today as the many hard won advances are slowly, or not so slowly as the case may be, being taken back. There are 2 articles posted below that are quite revealing as to the true economic straits of the working class in "amerika".................PEACE.......................Scott

Quote Of The Day - "Labor Day differs in every essential from other holidays of the year in any country. All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflict and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race or nation." - Samuel Gompers, founder of the American Federation of Labor


Quote Of The Day - "With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the (human) race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men." - Clarence Darrow
