A Labor Day Question

Jeff Cohen

If you're hoping for crime fiction stuff, I'm taking the day off. It's Labor Day. So while I know no issue is one-sided, I offer a question:

Given the demonization of labor unions that is the current rage in the U.S., is it hypocritical to have a holiday honoring labor?

 

Play nice, children. Answer any way you like. But if the discourse gets unruly, I will indeed exercise my right as editor and delete anything I feel is personal or impolite. All opinions are welcome. But not all tones.

Maybe it's a good opportunity to remember (as the above poster points out) why labor unions are essential to a free and just society. As with any human endeavor, there is some corruption and other problems, unfortunately, but I would be afraid to see what would happen if they did not exist.
