As we celebrate Labor Day do we know the history behind the holiday? Once again Chicago is a pivotal point in American history. The goal to the Haymarket Protest was an 8 hour work day. Commonly associated with International Workers’ Day held on May 1st. #unionproud https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haymarket_affair Photo credits: Wikipedia #chicagohistory #unionproudhome #bestinthemidwest #haymarket #laborday (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfWX0WLRm6/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's dark. It's cold. It's 6 a.m. But this is so very important. The strike is happening now! #strike #union #ufcw555 #unionstrong #unionproud #fredmeyer #qfc (at Fred Meyer) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXll3OOFLOm/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today, local UCFW555 employees are voting to strike. Make your voice heard! And yes, Fred Meyer and QFC are very worried, as evidenced by their VM last night. #unionproud #unionstrong #unnion #fredmeyer #qfc #ucfw555 #strike (at Embassy Suites by Hilton Portland Washington Square) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXUK-5NPZot/?utm_medium=tumblr
