About Today In Labor History

The NHLN has joined with multiple other websites to help highlight some of the struggles that workers have faced throughout our history. We want everyone to know what the workers of the past had to endure for the rights we take for granted now. If you do not learn from the past, you are doomed to repeat it.

1. DURec for Organized LABOR!

Thanks for your work here highlighting the History of the Labor Movement.
It has been removed from the textbooks,
and abandoned by the Democratic Party.

I fear our children & grandchildren will have to fight these battles all over again.
