@oracy.bsky.socialHappy Labor Day! The first Labor Day event took place in New York City on September 5, 1882.
Labor unions urged the government to honor the social and economic achievements of American workers by granting everyone a day off on the first Monday in September.
@timinthecle.bsky.socialPercentage growth in the membership of America's larger #laborunions since 2024. It varies widely from year to year, but can be instructive.
"Growth" can mean affiliating existing unions. DOL stats don't break out "new growth". Some unions "grow" primarily by absorbing existing unions. Stats: DOL
@timinthecle.bsky.socialStats on #laborunions in the US. I rely on official Labor Dept. filings, rather than reported figures. DOL figures are better, because they show "full-time equivalents" (FTEs). Not all union members are full-time. Some may be half, or even quarter time. FTEs allow us to compare apples to apples.
@indoeurocreolenero.bsky.socialInvest in American workers with livable wages, strong unions, and fair labor practices.
Karishma believes a strong economy is built from the bottom up, not the top down. She will work to raise wages, strengthen unions, and bring good jobs back to New Hampshire. #LaborDay #LaborUnions #Unions
@oracy.bsky.socialHappy Labor Day!
Labor Day shows that we can bring about positive change when people work together. ❤️🤍💙
@sarahsusandesigns.bsky.socialDolly Parton said it best: "Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life." For workers everywhere, enjoy your life today!

@resist47.newsLabor experts say Donald Trump's policy actions since last Labor Day have actively harmed US unions and workers despite his repeated pro-labor claims.

@adnan-rahman.bsky.social#LaborUnions are growing, but where depends on state politics
@janienesbittjones.bsky.socialMatewan is John Sayles’s 1987 tour de force depiction of the 1920 West Virginia coal miners’ strike and is a must-see for any history buff or film enthusiast. #movies #cinema #unions #laborunions #film
@janienesbittjones.bsky.social9/5/1917: Agents of the Bureau of Investigation, in conjunction with local law enforcement, raided all U.S. offices of the Industrial Workers of the World & used documents they found to prosecute & imprison #IWW members, hobbling the union but not annihilating it. #labor #unions #laborunions
