For many people, Labor Day means a 3 day weekend. But this holiday reminds me of my grandparents, especially my grandmother.
She was a union leader for a ball-bearing plant back in the day – not a typical job for a woman, especially a woman of color. That’s her in the middle.
I will always advocate for workers’ rights. People deserve to make an honest living and have access to proper benefits without facing dangerous or inhumane conditions.
Organized labor has fought tooth and nail for proper protections and benefits, and I’m honored to be an ally in their fight. Today, we thank you for your hard work.
