On this Labor Day, remember the unions who pushed for 8 hour work days and weekends off in the first place. Those used to not be a thing!

I recall back in '94 when food service workers were on strike at my alma mater. I was at a supermarket and a friend asked why I wouldn't cross a picket line. I was about to explain, when an older gent nearby said: 'So people don't have 17 hour days for ten cents an hour.' Yes, that.
