The United States Department of Labor is celebrating its One Hundredth Anniversary this year. Here is a quote from their website:
“We turned 100! March 2013 marked the Department of Labor’s first 100 years of service. We launched a year’s worth of educational events outlining the Department’s history. When you see our centennial icon, expect to find out some tidbit of history, or about an event or activity celebrating our first century of service to America’s workers.”

This would be a great time for us to remember the men and women who died so that we could have a five day work week, child labor laws, paid vacation, paid sick leave and many other things we take for granted.
I send a big thank you to those who struggled to start the union movement and I wish God’s blessing on those who continue to struggle everyday to protect the rights of workers.
