It’s a day to recognize the sacrifices made by generations of workers who have fought for the rights that we enjoy today.By Jeff Worthington | For The Salt Lake TribuneLabor Day holds a special significance for labor workers. It is a day to celebrate the sacrifices and achievements of our forefathers in the labor movement in the United States.
As the President of the Utah AFL-CIO, I am proud to be part of a movement that has made significant contributions to the well-being of workers and their families. Unions have helped to increase wages, improve benefits and provide job security for workers. They have also been instrumental in advocating for policies that benefit all workers, such as paid family leave, affordable healthcare and retirement security.
“Recognizing the hard work and sacrifices of our forefathers in getting the rights and protections that we all enjoy today.” “Being able to take care of our families because of the living wages that our unions negotiated for its members.”
