Labor Day Links
I went surfing for some Labor Day stuff to post and found this terrific history of the holiday from PBS. The Library of Congress has the story of the first Labor Day.
Also, take a look at the Take Back Your Time website. These people say we work too hard, 350 hours annually more than workers in Western Europe. They want more time for us to pursue hobbies, family and whatever else it is we do when we're not working – and I'm all for that.
So as the unofficial end of summer is upon us, have a terrific weekend. I'll be back on Tuesday.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
