Democrat Eric Swalwell represents California's 14th Congressional District. 

Happy Labor Day, team!

A five-day work week, eight-hour work days, safety mandates, a minimum wage, vacation time — the list goes on. The Labor Day holiday commemorates these rights and more, so it's important we take time to honor the achievements fought for by the trailblazers of the labor movement.

While none of this would have been possible without their movement, we know the hard fought battle is still not over.

We must continue to demand equal pay for equal work. We must continue to stand by workplace protections for our LGBTQ+ neighbors. We must continue to fight for a living wage. And we must continue to protect workers’ right to organize. 

So, friend, let us take today to show our gratitude for the courageous efforts of the labor movement, while pledging to never stop the fight for better working conditions for all.
