From the folks that brought you the weekend
After reminding Cole that this Administration cares very little about anything, let alone honoring groups of people that made this country what it is, I got another reminder myself. Turns out May is not only Asian American Heritage Month, but also Labor History Month (as declared by President Clinton in 1995).
Check out this cool resource on some of the important events in labor history that went down in may.
Also, the NY Labor History Association puts out a cool poster calendar each year that lists the great events scheduled in NY for this May. I hear that if you want a calendar, but aren’t a member, you can call and leave your name and mailing address with George Altomare, Vice-President, NYLHA—(212)-598-7772 .
Hmmm, now WHY would chucklenutz not want people to know about Labor History Month? Is it because unions stand for everything he opposes? Is it because unions, at their best, empower working people to stand up for themselves and their families? Is it because they are one of the last hurdles to his corporate pals completely dominating the American landscape?
You can cover up the Labor History and Asian American celebrations all you like with phony gestures aiming to raise capital for your “divine strike” on June 2nd. For everyone who’s ever had to work in a sweatshop, we’ll keep fighting.
