Is it just a generic holiday?
Do you "celebrate" organized labor and what it has (arguably) done to benefit all workers in the U.S.?
Do you shun the holiday as celebrating an institution that has proven to be equally good and bad?
Do you think of it as celebrating all working Americans, or just unionized workers (and retirees)?
Unions started out as good thing. A realy good thing. Anybody that has read any of my posts knows I'm about as Conservative as it gets, so ....
Unions were totally necessary when they were started. Unfortunately, communists got into the mix starting after WW1 and it went downhill even further after dimocrap SCUM got involved in the Labor Movement. Then Organized Crime got involved and they're just the dimocrap scum party in disguise.
But Unions were a really good thing when they started out.
Part of the reason they went bad was their own fault. Strike Breakers hired by Companies could be brutal. They used a lot thugs to break up picket lines, beat the crap out of people, etc.
The Unions didn't know how to fight them. They weren't used to fighting.
So the Unions reached out to The Mob (aka; dimocrap scum) and they successfully fought back.
The Mob IS the dimocrap scum party. Anybody that doesn't realize that needs to go back to their Cheerios and let the Adults talk.
And it went downhill from there. Too bad. In Countries that don't have dimocrap scum, Unions are a force for good. They work hand-in-hand with the Company to make the Company stronger and more competitive. They are intelligent enough to understand that what's good for the Company CAN be good for the workers. More Profit, higher wages.
But we have dimocrap scum. And, like the people that run the dimocrap scum Party -- Criminals. All they know how to do is steal. And lie. And steal some more.

Candace Hathaway wrote a piece a few days ago titled “
America last: Is Big Tech hiding jobs from US citizens to hire cheaper foreign labor from India and China?” The piece is excellent, and I encourage you to read it, but to boil it all down to a few bullet points, here is what is going on:
• Corporations are replacing U.S. citizens as employees with cheaper foreign H-1B labor. 71% of H-1B employees are Indian and 12% are Chinese nationals.
• Employers then seek “PERM” status for these H-1B workers. PERM is a Labor Department status allowed if no U.S. citizen who is “minimally qualified” can be found to fill the position.
• The employer must prove that there are no minimally qualified US citizens, so they place a couple of job postings in obscure newspaper classified ads, or on obscure job boards. These jobs tend to not even be posted on the companies’ own job boards, much less popular job-seeking sites such as Linked-In or Indeed.
• The jobs are often already filled before the job-posting charade is initiated.
• Some tech employees have created an online jobs board called “Jobs.now” to aggregate these virtually hidden job postings.
*******
DeSantis strategist and former spokesman Christina Pushaw has been punching back at those accusing the grass-roots H-1B pushback of engaging in illicit behavior. Ms. Pushaw
stated that Jobs.now “always advises Americans to apply ONLY if they meet the qualifications for a listed job. They aren't encouraging ‘unserious’ applications or unqualified candidates to bombard these companies. The fact is, a lot of H1Bs are in tech jobs, and a lot of tech companies have recently laid off American workers. So it follows that there are many Americans in tech currently looking for work and qualified for jobs in their field. This is how the labor market SHOULD work.”
She also addresses the underlying complaint against Jobs.now by stating,
“Applying for jobs isn’t a crime.”
