Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day to everyone! Today is a day to thank the American worker - creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom and leadership.

"Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."

To read more about the history of Labor Day, please visit the U.S. Department of Labor website here.

Having grown up in a union household, you can see how important the American worker is - and what role they play throughout our Nation and our State's history.

Happy Labor Day to all!
