Donald Trump celebrated Labor Day by criticizing the head of America’s largest labor union, Richard Trumka of the AFL-CIO.
Trumka had dared to suggest that Canada needs to be a part of any North American trade deal.
Richard Trumka, the head of the AFL-CIO, represented his union poorly on television this weekend. Some of the things he said were so against the working men and women of our country, and the success of the U.S. itself, that it is easy to see why unions are doing so poorly. A Dem!— Donald J.

A few hours earlier, Trump boasted about low unemployment numbers ( a trend established over 7 years of the Obama administration) and “big progress” being made on the U.S. economy.
Happy Labor Day! Our country is doing better than ever before with unemployment setting record lows. The U.S. has tremendous upside potential as we go about fixing some of the worst Trade Deals ever made by any country in the world. Big progress being made!— Donald J.

I thought I would share my 2017 Labor Day pool playlist via Spotify.
You may notice I’m kinda eclectic in my musical tastes. Everyone on the list is either LGBTQ or a big-time ally 🙂
First time trying this, so if it doesn’t work, more wine! Happy Labor Day!
I hope everyone has a fab Labor Day!
And please remember, this holiday (and the minimum wage and fair treatment by employers and weekends and sick days and 30 hour work week and employer health care and more) brought to you by the labor movement and unions.

Well, the good news is I was smart enough to enjoy the sun the past two days while I had it.
This was my biggest problem Saturday and Sunday:
Today is another story:
Life.
And just a reminder to those of you who enjoy your Labor Day holiday – it was created/fought for by union members. Along with the 40 hour work week, overtime pay, family leave, health benefits, and a whole lot of other things some folks take for granted today.
So as you spend time with family and friends today – please remember that.
Happy Labor Day kids!
