All Republicans should have to work on Labor Day
Republicans hate unions and are dripping with contempt for the working class.

So, I think it's only right as a matter of principle that all Republicans should have to work on Labor Day, which is a holiday in honor of the aforementioned groups.

1. Well, there was one who was tombstoned earlier
who made a point of saying that the reason he didn't post too much was because he had a job. *cough* *cough*. Apparently he got today off.

2. They should also have to work on weekends.

And they should have to work more than eight hours a day without breaks, and in unsafe workplaces with dangerous chemicals and unguarded machinery, and when they get hurt they should just get fired instead of receiving workers' compensation. All of those things were initiated by the labor movement, and became law on account of the efforts of Democrats over the opposition of Republicans. I guess they've forgotten about that.

4. And they shouldn't get any overtime pay
For anything over 40 hours week.

And they should have to live in neighborhoods by factories that have no environmental regulations imposed on them.
