John,

When working people come together, the sky is the limit. Unions enable workers to negotiate for higher pay, better hours, more affordable health care—and power.

This Labor Day, we’re celebrating union solidarity and letting everyone around us know: Want power? Join a union.

When we’re in a union, we’re all stronger together than we are on our own. We can fight for the fair workplaces we all deserve. Today, whether you’re at a barbecue, a picnic or a parade, let your friends and family know: Unions make us stronger.

If you’re in a union, wear your membership with pride. If you’re not yet in a union, join one today. To all the working people who keep our nation—and our world—moving: Happy Labor Day.

In Solidarity,

Rich
