The National Treasury Employees Union has some suggestions for how to spend your Labor Day holiday:
- Visit a labor exhibit at a local museum or tour the Labor Hall of Fame at the U.S. Department of Labor.
- Listen to labor songs on the Smithsonian Folkways web site.
- Check the labels the next time you shop and buy a union-made product.
- Watch a pro-union movie, like Norma Rae.
- Relax. Having time off from work to spend with family and friends was an early goal of the labor movement.
Somehow, I think the last option is going to be the most popular.
