Hey Josh, some things aren't worth fighting, and this is one of them.
Dont hurt them Hammer.
I have never done anything to celebrate labor on Labor Day or any other day. As usual, I spent the day laboring around the house. I tore out my basement windows and replaced them with glass blocks.
Labor Day weekend is the start of college football season. And those of us who work for a living need a day off to help cope with the tiredness of the dog days of summer. It is also near the start of school for the kids and the turmoil of having to send the kids back to the educational institutions. So maybe we all need to be replaced by robots so there will not be human beings who get tired. Oh yeah, the robots revolt and replace the management types with robots. Maybe we just keep the humans and let them have a late summer day off.
Careful or they’ll replace it with some muzzie or queer (or combination) POS day.
Labor Day is for gun discounts on line.
I'm fine with Labor Day.
The holiday presumes that business owners and managers don’t labor, when they usually put in much longer than a 40 hour week. It also denigrates the role of savings, risk-taking, and investment in the creation of wealth. While Republican candidates should not run against the holiday, the battle can be fought intellectually in forums where such battles take place.
Yes, things were awesome for workers at steel plants in the early 1900’s.
Young children should work in coal mines as well.
You need to get word out to the Trump campaign.
Airplanes will fly banners over beaches in five cities in critical swing states — Detroit, Michigan; Cleveland, Ohio; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Virginia Beach, Virginia — on Labor Day afternoon that say “Trump-Pence thanks our great American workers.”
I wouldn’t have a big problem if what was going on here in the U. S. was simply honoring the people who keep things rolling in the nation, if it weren’t for the Leftists, Union leadership, and otherwise.
It’s a real shame everything the Left touches gets soiled.
They try to twist this into some holiday celebrating the worker’s paradise, obviously a nod to totalitarian Socialist/Communist nations.
If you see a large Labor Day parade, you’re likely to see the usual suspects on posters trotted out to advertise the wonders of those failed governing models. Wonders alright...
Replace with a “Right to Work” holiday, celebrating the American worker free from the shackles of communist/socialist/criminal Unions.
Not everything is a nail, Hammer.
So, checks and balances is essential in probably every venue in society - including the labor market. My grandfather came to the US as a young immigrant boy, and wound up working in a coal mine as a 12 year-old, developing black lung as a consequence. So, restriction of working age, and recognition of workplace hazards was/is a real thing that company ownership needs to be held fast on.
That said, I have personal friends who bragged about how they exploited union rules when they were working for a US steel company - essentially working only a few hours per shift while pulling union wages.
My point being that the labor movement grew out of a specific need, but protection of business owners and investors is also required and important.
I’m glad we celebrate Labor Day in September and not on May 1 as much of the world does.
Labor Day is out of date. Should be renamed “Shopper’s Day”, “Party Day”, “Stoner’s Day” or something more relevant to Millennials.
Presidents’ Day - racist as some owned slaves.
Easter - yucky religion
4th of July - America was founded by taking land from Indians
Labor Day - just work. No need for days off.
Halloween - Christians say it’s evil
Columbus Day - most hated holiday.
Veterans Day - the American military complex has ruined the world
Thanksgiving - terrible that pilgrims tricked the Indians into feeding them
Christmas - Christians say lying to kids is nasty. The rest hate all things Christian.
I honestly think the only safe holiday so far is New Years. However, God only knows which side will end up ruining that too.
It’s a nice three day weekend. Would they have rather worked today?
Shut up and leave it alone. Go try to saveColumbus day.
People who object to holidays like Columbus, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Labor Day should volunteer to work on those days rather than violate their values.
