The Real Meaning of Labor Day

___In the early 1850s immigrants from Europe flooded into the United States. Most settled in the Northeast and took jobs in factories. The workweek was long, the pay was low and conditions were unsafe. It is ironic that Northerners called slavery immoral, but abused immigrants for profit.

___Later in the century and in the early 1900s labor organized and struck for a shorter workweek, better pay, benefits and a safe workplace. Child labor laws were passed to end the abuse of children.

___Northerners and West-coasters now have forced their homosexual and same sex morality on the United States. Those who ignore the lessons from history are condemned to repeat the mistakes!
