Honoring Our Nation’s Workers
ST. PAUL (September 6, 2010) - Today, the DFL Party praised the men and women of organized Labor and celebrated the Labor movement, which has helped people of every economic status and every walk of life. State Chair Brian Melendez released this statement:
"Each year on Labor Day, we honor our nation's workers and their contribution to our country. For decades, the Labor movement has fought for fairness in the workplace and served those we depend on - our workers. Especially during these difficult economic times, organized labor is an important part of rebuilding our economy.
"The Labor movement is responsible for things that most people take for granted: eight-hour workdays, occupational-safety standards, retirement security, the minimum wage - all accomplishments that have made our nation a better place for working families and helped so many realize the American dream. The DFL Party is proud to stand with the men and women of organized labor. On the Party's behalf, I honor and thank the men and women of organized Labor and their unions."
