The hot and humid summer in Wisconsin has been wonderful for my vegetable gardens. Proof of my labor is the great tasting tomatoes we’ve made into juice this past weekend. But Labor Day isn’t really about my labor here at home; it’s about celebrating the laborers who have worked so hard to make America a fair and equal place to work, to make a living, to raise a family and to enjoy a good life. It’s about celebrating our “traditional ideals of economic and political democracy.” (USDOL) And I would love for us to add: “all while conserving our environment for future laborers to carry on.”
