IAM members and leaders across the U.S. and Canada displayed their union and labor pride by participating in parades, rallying, and sharing Labor Day celebration messages all over social media.
Our union is proud to stand with other unions, labor leaders, and elected officials to celebrate working people on Labor Day. It was a machinist who founded Labor Day back in 1882; this day holds gratitude and reverence for the workers who came before us, as well as hope and solidarity for the workers of the future.
Our union celebrates workers every day, but especially on Labor Day. Here are some of the photos and posts IAM members, locals and districts, and labor movement allies put out in celebration of the workers’ holiday:
if(window.SUImageCarousel){setTimeout(function() {window.SUImageCarousel.initGallery(document.getElementById(“su_image_carousel_631dda232c22f”))}, 0);}var su_image_carousel_631dda232c22f_script=document.getElementById(“su_image_carousel_631dda232c22f_script”);if(su_image_carousel_631dda232c22f_script){su_image_carousel_631dda232c22f_script.parentNode.removeChild(su_image_carousel_631dda232c22f_script);}
It was awesome to hear from our @VP this morning at the @GBLCBoston #laborday breakfast. It’s great to have such a pro-worker & pro-union administration. #1u pic.twitter.com/frMZRKvqnG

Happy Labor Day from the Independent Drivers Guild. Today, we vow to continue fighting to take on Uber and Lyft and finally get drivers the union rights we deserve.

In the late nineteenth century, labor activists pushed for federal recognition of contributions workers made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.
In 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September a federal holiday, Labor Day. pic.twitter.com/2Rs6xhYJ9U
