Below is one of the best poems that I know about labor.
I think it's especially appropriate for the one National Holiday out of the year when we honor both workers and the labor movement. The labor movement brought all of us such "basic" benefits as the 8-hour day, the 2-day weekend, lunch breaks, and workplace safety standards (you know, unlocked doors and fire escapes). Once upon a time, the labor movement brought many, many Americans a salary that allowed a family to move into, and, if desired, to advance from, the middle class on one worker's salary. The erosion of the labor movement has kept pace with the erosion of workers' salaries and the erosion of the middle class. Today, many Pagans find themselves living in below middle-class conditions.
