Have We Forgotten The Meaning Of Labor Day?

Labor Day is a pillar in the American calendar, marking the end of summer each year. But have we forgotten what the holiday's really all about?

One problem with this video - Labor Rights ARE NOT being rolled back in the USA. That last statement in this video is wrong.

[richardtaylor]

You want more rights for your workers? You want the middle class to grow? *Vote Bernie Sanders 2016!*

[RichardMelendez]

we should be helping the middle class grow

NO! NEVER! I tell my parents this whenever a relevant topic arises. Ignorance killed the cat.

If workers united workers would have open honest conversations about their pay with each other, something often forbidden from jobs, want to guess why it's talked bad about doing? It's the first step to truly be united.

Wait 8 hour workday. That's impossible.

Sales... in other words, a day all the part timers work so the full timers and bosses can have a day off to buy things. Nothing is more American than buying things.

Labor Day is for all the Drones who grew up within this Structure of Society in which is planned by the Corporatized Statist Nationalistic System in which its Policies are found to have Traveled the Roads that Lead to Rome...
Many Drones become Cannon Fodder for the Ideals of Freedom(now a days fighting Terrorist all over Earth, there are no borders in which THEY can't Cross except all Those Sovereign Nations of Peoples that do not agree with The Policies in which come by way The Roads to Rome. Every Man and Woman who joins any Military Force in any Nation on Earth these Days are not Fighting for Freedom... For Every Puppet Nation on Earth do THEIR Shopping for Arms in Jordan every couple of years: "The Business of War: SOFEX" Look it up. The Masters who OWN all the CANNON FODDER which are MEN and WOMEN who serve as CANNON FODDER for THOSE In POWER of Earth which Used The Lands of The Americas, namely the North American Continent as the Base of Operations starting back when Great Britain was The World Power that kept all the Gates around the world and controlled all the Trade. Of course THEY need to condition Minions to do THEIR Dirty Work which are CANNON FODDER(Men and Women who think they serve for the Sake of Freedom, used to be for Queen/King/Pope in your face. Now a days is done behind Closed Doors)

It's hard to celebrate Labor day when you live in a "right to work" state!
