					<description><![CDATA[For those Up North in Michigan Labor Day ends a weekend of work--closing down the summer places.  
Shuttering windows, putting up lawn furniture, storing boats, taking lifts and docks out of the lake--real live physical labor, with neighbors aiding neighbors.
And this year, summer is definitely over.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;Labor unions have almost always been led by Marxists or by Mafia types (see Jimmy Hoffa, whose son heads up that same union now). See the International Workers of the World (IWW).&lt;/i&gt;  --  Cicero

I always thought it was most curious that Saul Alinsky worked under Frank Nitti (Francesco Raffaele Nitto) in his younger days.  Then I saw a Hollywoodized biography (Frank Nitti: The Enforcer, 1988) of Nitti which portrayed him as being &lt;b&gt;the&lt;/b&gt; key mob boss who, late in his crime career, moved the mob towards pseudo-legitimacy by infiltrating some of the union&#039;s leadership.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Alan F: thanks for leading by example.  I just did the same.  A very modest sum that can’t begin to match the value I enjoy from Neo’s site: both her intelligent, careful and honest writing on a wonderful variety of topics, and the spirited, funny and informative comments of her readers.    Long may she and her blog continue to shine.  Floreat!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Labor day became a federal holiday in 1887, in concession to workers and the burgeoning union movement. The US Dept. of Labor was not created til 1913.Thanks, Woodrow.

Labor unions have almost always been led by Marxists or by Mafia types (see Jimmy Hoffa, whose son heads up that same union now). See the International Workers of the World (IWW).

Industrial unions have essentially disappeared, as have their employers.

But we have public sector unions, like ATF, which, along with trial lawyers are the two greatest contributors to the DNC in its march to make us totally, not just partially, socialist, under its dominion forever. 
The point of unions is to organize against employers, but who employs the public sector unions?  We taxpayers.

We can thank JFK for green-lighting the concept. 

I despise Labor Day, given its history and results.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In honor of labor day, I can recommend reading,

&quot;Shakedown Socialism: Unions, Pitchforks, Collective Greed, The Fallacy of Economic Equality, and other Optical Illusions of &quot;Redistributive Justice&quot;
by Oleg Atbashian

Oleg was a graphics designer under the old Soviet system and thus part of the propaganda machine.  As the title suggests, there are a variety of topics.  But by my reading, the big topic of the book is the folly of committed labor union people promoting a communist gov.

He speaks of those who imagined that the labor leaders would be in the catbird seat, but in reality the political leaders had no time or care for their issues.  And the reason was that once absolute power is obtained, the power of unions becomes worthless.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[My Dad worked in Lower Manhattan, and every day took the Barclay St ferry across the Hudson to Hoboken to get the train home. It was a tradition that on the last trip before Labor Day the men would toss their straw hats into the drink. My Dad was too frugal to do so.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although fall is still my favorite season, it has lost a bit of its luster as I get older. Alas. But I can still ski, and I look forward to that. Even mud season has its charms, if you look hard enough. And best wishes to all the laborers our country is blessed to have.]]></description>
