Happy Labor Day, John!

I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible contributions of workers and their families in PA-08 and beyond.

The labor movement has a deep and rich history here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. John Mitchell, the president of the United Mine Workers of America, came to our area over a century ago.

He showed us that it's possible to stand up to the corporate titans who would rather keep workers divided to improve their bottom line. Mitchell worked with President Theodore Roosevelt to reach an agreement for Pennsylvanian mine workers to improve working conditions.

Labor Day is more than just a day off – it's an opportunity to honor the hardworking individuals, like John Mitchell, whose efforts led to the 40-hour work week, breaks at work, paid vacation, sick leave, and so much more. It’s also a time to celebrate today's workers who continue to power our communities, build our industries, and shape our futures. Whether on factory floors, in schools, on farms, or in offices, workers are the heartbeat of our country.

As we celebrate this Labor Day, let's reaffirm our dedication to improving the workplace for all. Let's continue to support policies that empower workers, uplift families, and create a stronger, more equitable society. Together, we can build a future where every hardworking individual's efforts are valued and rewarded.

I wish you and your loved ones a meaningful and restful Labor Day.

Sincerely,

Matt
