We, at AAFiles, would like to extend our warmest Labor Day wishes to you and your families. As you know, Labor day is a tribute to the Working Class of America. It is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. Labor Day is a time to honor the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.
Samuel Gompers, founder and longtime president of the American Federation of Labor, stated:
[quote]"Labor Day differs in every essential way from the other holidays of the year in any country. All other holidays are in a more or less degree connected with conflicts and battles of man's prowess over man, of strife and discord for greed and power, of glories achieved by one nation over another. Labor Day...is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation."[/quote]
