Because of the #Labor movement, we have the 40-hour workweek, weekends off, safer workplaces, fair wages, health care, pensions, apprenticeships, and the right to organize. These victories were fought for and won by workers standing shoulder to shoulder to secure a better future.

Happy Labor Day Weekend from the IBEW Ninth District! Labor Day is more than a long weekend, it’s a celebration of what working people, united in solidarity, have built and won through generations of sacrifice, struggle, and perseverance.
