Labor Day Ronda Bowen, September 3, 2012October 10, 2025 Employee of the Month Reserved Parking Sign (Photo credits: myparkingsign.com) This labor day, why not look into supporting unions? Historically, unions have been there to protect the rights of those who are employed. They serve as a bargaining agency when there is a dispute between the laborers and the employers. Many companies are anti-union, and some even punish their employees for being members of unions.
