This nation was founded on a union, and on this Labor Day, we’re reminded that the American worker, not Washington, has led to our prosperity. As one of the few pro-union GOP congressmen at the time, I’d rather celebrate the workers than the paperwork signers who gave us off today. (Link below)

My Scots grandfather emigrated to America in 1926, was expelled in 1929 because he tried to set up *genuine* trade unions in Chicago. He was OG Red Clydesider, veteran of the Battle of George Square. The “union” mafia in Chicago *hated* him, as he actually advocated workers rights,not extortion

I understand almost everyone doesn’t have grandparents they lived with who were 125+ years ago. Makes me feel old, but I have an incredible connection with what most folks now think of as history 🥺
