Leave it to the good ol’ U. S. of A to do things a little different. Our American Labor Day is a great example.

Recognizing and honoring the labor movement, but not when the European countries do so. More than a hundreds years back, American Labor and Political leaders found a less conflict-charged day, the first Monday in September.

Whatever your thoughts, critiques, let’s agree to the overarching message, Honor Labor.

And a bonus insight: consider “Labor” not only as traditional “Blue Collar Jobs” such as construction, farm, or service workers.

We should also consider the many thousands of people on the picket line right now that are striking under the unions representing writers and actors — the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA).

Their plight is real; their cause is just, as they raise their voices and sacrifice for more compensation balance and equity in their industry. They are “Labor” also.
