Happy Labor Day to the workers who build America! Republicans deliver lower taxes, better jobs, bigger paychecks. Democrats sell out workers & ship jobs overseas.

America’s vicious cycle: Corporations crush their workers to protect their bottom lines, then use their profits to lobby for policies that allow them to keep crushing their workers. Labor Day is the perfect time to remind ourselves it doesn’t have to be this way.

Koh: I think if this is a president who really wanted to empower workers, he wouldn't have just stripped 700,000 people of their collective bargaining rights. If this was a president who really wanted to empower workers, he wouldn't have cut $500 million of labor protections and labor investigations across the world. If this was a president who really cared about empowering workers. He wouldn't have tried to change a rule last time he was president that would have made it easier for managers to take from the tip pools of their servers. This is all a farce.

Emotional and historic moment today for nannies, cooks, housekeepers, home caregivers, gardeners, and more who now have basic labor protections. I was proud to sign the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights — 6 years after I initially proposed it as Attorney General. Thank you to everyone who brought it to fruition today after many years of work, including Rep. Thomas, Sen. Saldaña, and many hardworking advocates.

Federal workers are going without pay during this shutdown. Yesterday, I brought pizza to some furloughed federal workers to hear their stories and reiterate my support. This could be resolved tomorrow if Republicans would return to Washington to vote with Democrats on a bill to fund the government and protect access to affordable healthcare.

Trump’s Department of Labor wants to gut 60 worker protection rules. This is what it looks like to put corporate profits over workers’ lives. American workers are not disposable, and I’ll keep fighting to protect their safety.

As we approach Labour Day tomorrow, it's crucial to acknowledge the significance of this occasion amidst the current socio-economic landscape in Kenya. While Labour Day traditionally serves as a time to honor the contributions of workers, it's essential to recognize that many challenges persist for the labor force. With the ongoing doctors' strike entering its 48th day, the plight of healthcare workers stands as a poignant reminder of the systemic issues facing workers across various sectors. In the face of adversity, these individuals continue to advocate for their rights and fair treatment in the workplace. Labour Day should serve as a platform not only for celebration but also for reflection and action. It's an opportunity for us to unite in solidarity with workers and amplify their voices in demanding better working conditions, fair wages, and respect for their invaluable contributions to society.
