Labor Day: More than Just a Holiday

Labor Day will be here before you know it, and there’s no better way to evoke the true spirit of the day than by celebrating with your fellow Union members and family. It’s been a national holiday since 1894, and its origins were labor unions who pressed for worker recognition, for their accomplishments as well as their mistreatment.

Labor Day signifies more than just the end of summer—it’s a poignant reminder that our journey toward progress for workers is an ongoing struggle. Each fight we take on together for working people helps shape a future where union jobs are within every Californian’s reach.
