Through my great, great grandmother's cousin, I have a renewed understanding of where we have come as a society when it comes to honoring workers on Labor Day – and where we still need to go.
The statistic: "According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 57 children under the age of 16 and 68 teens between the ages of 16-17 died on the job between 2018 and 2022." is horrifying! Whatever happened to modern life, the health and wellness of our future generations!? As a mother of two teens, I am first off, thankful to live in Canada (though we have many problems of our own) and secondly, appalled that the labour laws that so many worked for so long to put into place, are being slowly eroded in America.
It’s shocking isn’t it? Harris and walz have a mantra “we will not go back.” It’s all I could think of when writing this. Thank you for adding your thoughts.

Certainly an exceptional woman! Hard to believe that she was allowed access to those factories to document the atrocities. We must stay ever vigilant
