How to Spend Labor Day

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.
