Labor Day was created by President Grover Cleveland on June 28, 1894. He was a Democrat which is just one more proof, if you need any, that if you want something done for the working class in America you must elect Democrat to all offices at all levels.
This Labor Day in 2023, the United States is very fortunate to have President Biden in office since he has proven over his long and highly successful political career that he is a committed friend of the working class and of organized labor.

Both for the working class and the country in general, organized labor has done more for the country than any other segment of the populace. Unions fought for and won the forty hour week, the eight hour day, paid vacations and holidays, sick pay, company provided health and life insurance, ended child labor, unemployment benefits, workers compensation laws, Black Lung Benefits, disability benefits, the Medical and Family Leave Act, and not one of those benefits of organized labor's work was ever a focus of action by the Republican Party. They were all produced with the cooperation of organized labor and Democratic presidents.
The bottom line for the working class in America will always be that if workers support unions, Democratic elected officials, and the rights of workers we all win.
