Labor Day is for the workers, not politicians

As we approach Labor Day, Americans ought to remember why it was created -- and by whom.

Organized labor gave the workers of this country (and not just the unionized ones) the 40-hour work week, safe working conditions, paid vacations, family and medical leave, child labor laws, decent pensions, health care benefits, sick days, unemployment compensation and much more.

And the unions gave us Labor Day. 

Labor Day is supposed to be a celebration of their achievements and a remembrance of their sacrifices over the past century and more.
