Happy Labor Day

Many Americans think that this three day weekend was created in honor of work.  Actually, it was created in honor of the American labor movement.  You see, in the 19th century, union work stoppages were met with violence and killing.  Then Congress decided we could have a holiday saying the Labor movement was a-ok.

"Oh, I always wanted to be a Teamster; so lazy and surly."  

Now, in the 21st century, labor unions protect workers from unpaid overtime.  At least until the robots take our jobs.  Three cheers for labor day and the labor movement!
