Some Labour Day Successes!

Labour Day is around the corner, so it's a good time to reflect on the things workers have gained in their fight.  Yet, there is still much more to do in the workplace.

It could be that some of us have taken it for granted that employers were the ones who freely offered these things to workers, but this was not and is usually not the case.

On the other hand, though, employers needed to agree to these "fought for terms," and thankfully, they have agreed to them.

Some of the things fought for are Pension, Overtime, Benefits Coverage and Vacation Pay.

Enjoy Labour Day, everyone!
