📅 Mark Your Calendars:

Each year on Labor Day, we reflect and celebrate how far working families have come and the contributions organized labor has made to all of our lives. We owe a debt to those who came before us and won retirement security, the eight-hour workday, weekends, paid vacations, and employer-provided health care. Each of these landmark improvements in working conditions happened because workers like us stood strong to protect and improve our hard-earned rights.

Labor Day is a day of action.

On Monday, September 1, 2025, we are showing up for each other. We are growing our movement and fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us—and not just a chosen few.  Take action or find an event near you:
