dcnovice -> Happy Labor Day! (9/1/2013 5:02:59 PM)

Warmest wishes to all who work in whatever form or fashion, and hearty thanks to the valiant souls whose hard-won victories made the working life a lot better.

And now, a Labor Day gallery to celebrate:

Wonderful photo gallery, DC. Thanks for sharing, and reminding folks (myself included) that we didn't always have it so good on the job fronts.

dc, love the photos but the second one is a minor. You need to lose it.

Huzzah!!!!



LadyPact -> RE: Happy Labor Day! (9/2/2013 2:23:19 AM)

And to you, dc. We've been 'laboring' over wax shots from Sunday into Monday, so we're both settling in. We'll have pics soon.



Winterapple -> RE: Happy Labor Day! (9/2/2013 3:06:21 AM)

My Labor Day is starting off with a thunderstorm and a
power surge. Yay! But thanks for the pics dc, we need to
remember what this day is about and the people who fought
for better working conditions. Happy Labor Day.

We got storms ourselves...much needed rain. I hope they will pass through before I get the grill out.

Happy Labour day to you all across the pond [:)].

Oh, hell. I didn't think of that, and the edit window has passed.

Another Labor Day tidbit:

The House passed the Fair Labor Standards Act—widely considered the final major piece of New Deal legislation. Shepherded through the Labor Committee by Chairwoman Mary T. Norton of New Jersey, the measure provided for a 40-hour workweek, outlawed child labor, and set a minimum wage of 25 cents per hour.

DC I pulled it for you.

A reminder to everyone else: Please do not post photos of minors regardless of the context. Thank you.

Thanks! Sorry about that bit of brain death.

My Mother celebrated Labor Day in the old way- she went into Labor with me!!!

It's very appropriate, too, being the worker, union supporter, leftie that I am.

And I'm a half century old today!!!


Happy Labor Day!

Happily resting from my labors, though the wife seems determined to make me work around here.
