It seems ironic that Americans celebrate labor by taking the day off. Does Labor Day mean nothing more than watermelon, baseball, barbecues and beer?
Labor Day constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country.
While we may have forgotten it, Labor Day, in truth, is about celebrating the American worker, who in recent days has come under attack as companies export more and more jobs to foreign shores. Labor Day is a time for everyone to remind themselves of the accomplishments of American workers, who continue to set records for productivity.
Labor Day is a celebration of the hard work and dedication of our American workers to make our country better.
