This weekend Americans and Canadians are celebrating Labor Day, the book end to the summer marked by barbecues (I’m slow roasting a pork), beer (in my case a lovely glass of wine) and parades.
Many people have forgotten the real reason for the holiday: a day off work to celebrate the workers, who in our past worked in brutal conditions, long hours and with no minimum wage. This short video give you a fresh reminder of how the holiday came to pass and a friendly reminder that we still have progress to make (scroll down skip the video and see what I read this week):
