Inspiring article on the ways that workers across sectors are coming together this week & beyond to improve their lives and working conditions: "The standards board and the Building Dignity and Respect program [a WSR program] are just two examples of ways non-union workers can win power and make an impact beyond their own workplace. They are what Nunes called “strategic wagers,” attempts at envisaging and enacting plans for achieving transformation that may not always succeed but provide replicable models for innovation that can be iterated upon." https://lnkd.in/gzmwhCw7

The origin of May Day Labor Day: May Day in the American labor movement in the mid-19th century.   At that time, workers in many countries, including the United States and Europe, fought for the introduction of an eight-hour working day. On May 1, 1886, workers in Chicago and other cities in the United States held general strikes and demonstrations, demanding improvement of working conditions and the implementation of an eight-hour working day. After a bloody and arduous struggle, the workers finally won.   To commemorate this great workers' movement, in July 1889, at the founding conference of the Second International organized by Engels, May 1 of each year was announced as International Labor Day. This decision received a positive response from workers around the world.   The May Day Labor Day was established to recognize and commemorate the contributions of workers to social and economic development. It is also an important holiday to advocate workers' rights and promote social progress. #MayDay #IFPD #LCD #interactivedisplay #cuhub

Wishing everyone a safe and peaceful Labor Day. TTI's offices will be closed in observance of the holiday. Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September, honors the social and economic achievements of American workers. Established as a federal holiday in 1894 by President Grover Cleveland, its roots trace back to September 5, 1882, when 10,000 workers marched in New York City. Initially a response to declining worker conditions during the industrial boom, the holiday gained momentum as states like Oregon recognized it in 1887. Though unions faced significant opposition in the early days, the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 later secured workers' right to unionize. Today, Labor Day not only marks a historic victory for workers’ rights but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges facing workers in modern industries. As conversations around fair wages, work-life balance, and labor rights continue, Labor Day remains a critical moment to reflect on progress and the road ahead. #laborday #americanworkers #laborrights #fairwages

Labor Day is a day for honoring America’s workers and celebrating their contributions to everything we cherish about our country. The holiday is rooted in the vibrant labor movement of the late 19th century when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize how ordinary workers from coast to coast built America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being. In the beginning, labor activists called for wider recognition with parades, picnics, and speeches. The first recorded celebration of this kind took place on September 5, 1882 in New York City. The Central Labor Union organized a day of street parades, picnics, and parties to exhibit the strength and camaraderie of the trade and labor organizations in the community. The practice spread quickly across the nation. By 1894, 30 states were officially celebrating Labor Day. Congress acted to make Labor Day a federal holiday to be celebrated the first Monday in September. On June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed the bill into law.

Are you or someone you know a member of a union? My grandfather was a proud union member, and he always told me about the positive impact unions and their members have had—not just for themselves, but for communities across this great nation. My husband also works for a union, building playgrounds in NYC, and it has changed our lives in so many ways for the better. Unions don’t just promote economic equality and worker power, they also improve lives outside of work. That’s why I wanted to share this with you. Union members fight tirelessly for fair workplace conditions, pay, and benefits, and their efforts benefit not just their members, but nonunion workers and entire communities too. Whether it’s helping reduce wage gaps or improving workplace safety, unions make a lasting difference for everyone. As you can see, unions help set the standards that lift up the working class, their families, and even those who aren’t union members. That’s why I’ll always stand with unions—they make life better for all of us! #TheUnionDifference #sponsored #StrongerTogether Paid for by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees @theuniondifference_
