ICYMI: Yesterday was Labor Day. Illinois commemorated the day like no other --- thousands of people turned up at parades from Cairo to Chicago. We celebrated the #uniondifference. We showed future union members how it's better in a union. We said "no" to Trump's union busting.
"Unskilled" labor is a myth told by businesses to devalue the essential work done every day by workers so they can pay less. Now more than ever, we need unions to raise wages and protect workers against greedy corporations. #Union#UnionDifference#WorkLifeBalance
