Labor Day

Monday is Labor Day, an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. Boston has celebrations, block parties, and free museum admission around the city to commemorate the special occasion.

As we look back at this year’s celebration of Labor Day, we must not forget the significant role that our community has played in the fight for labor rights. This holiday serves as a reminder of the long and ongoing struggle for labor rights and civil rights.

Labor groups and elected officials gathered Monday at a Labor Day rally outside the Marriott Copley Hotel to protest actions taken against its staff.
