1. Solidarity!
"Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts."

2. Thank you
It is us the hard working Americans that keep this county running. Those of us that get up every morning or night and go to work. Its those of us that do a job that they may love or hate. There also some of us that don't get this day off and have to still press on. I am afraid the American work has given up so much that our fathers and grandfathers have worked for.
