Labor Day first became a holiday in 1894. Since then, American labor and workers have made great strides and, on occasion, suffered severe setbacks.

But the labor movement has survived, and our nation is better for it. The tireless commitment of workers everywhere to getting the job done continues to keep our economy moving.

On Labor Day, it’s up to each of us to commit in return.

This commitment falls upon each of us as elected officials, employers, labor bargaining units, business owners both large and small: To protect workplace standards while providing good jobs, fair wages, safe working conditions, and quality benefits for all workers.

This Labor Day, I am recommitting to ensuring every worker has a fair shot on a level playing field. I’ll continue to do my part in Congress, and I hope you’ll stand with me.

In solidarity,

Scott

P.S. I can’t thank you enough for your help in getting us to our August fundraising goal last week. With your continued grassroots support, I’m confident that we will be able to take on any challenge that lies ahead.
