On Labor Day we honor and celebrate the contributions of America's working people. We take pride in our union membership because we know what our union means to us. By standing together in union, we have power on the job and earn a fair share for the work we do.

The Wisconsin labor movement is ready to fight to protect the freedoms of all workers. Being in a union means building a better future for ourselves and our families, generations down the line. As public support for unions continues to see historic highs, the time is now to continue to organize, mobilize, and win for workers.
