Long weekend alert!
Whether you plan to party, organize or work a shift, Labor Day is a reminder that today’s workplace standards were hard-won, and that there is still work to be done.
Labor Day was born more than a century ago from organizing, strikes and collective voices demanding fairer treatment. Thanks to the labor movement, we have safer workplaces, the eight-hour workday and 40-hour workweek, minimum wage and overtime pay, child labor laws and anti-discrimination gains.
The job you’re looking for, whether it existed during the Gilded Age height of the fight for fair workplace standards or not, is better thanks to the labor movement — and we can learn from it as workplaces continue to revolutionize.
