LABOR DAY 2024: A REMINDER THAT THE COMMUNISTS AND THEIR UNIONS ARE DESTROYING OUR NATION
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, was created by the labor movement and is dedicated to American workers’ social and economic achievements.
Initially, Labor Day was created as a yearly nationwide tribute to the contributions workers have made to the prosperity and well-being of our country and, secondarily, to mark a long struggle for safety and worker’s rights.
Unfortunately, due to the infiltration of the labor movement by organized crime, Marxists, socialists, and communists – much of the true meaning of this day has been lost, and it has become just another holiday for the nation.
Metastasizing Malignancy of Labor Unions.
The “metastasizing malignancy” of labor unions is a disturbing phenomenon where these organizations, once meant to protect workers, have become breeding grounds for insidious progressive communist democrat ideologies.
Under the sway of communist sympathizers, many unions now harbor leaders who openly espouse un-American values with a thinly veiled agenda to dismantle the nation from within.
These infiltrators, masquerading as champions of the working class, are instead working to corrupt the very fabric of American society. Their goal is not just to undermine democracy and capitalism but to impose a collectivist, authoritarian regime that would obliterate the freedoms and principles that define America.
The Private Sector Is Being Ravaged.
Private sector unions have increasingly become a powerful force holding private organizations hostage with outrageous demands. These unions push for higher salaries and more generous benefits without any corresponding productivity increase or workforce size reduction. They often fiercely oppose technological advancements, not out of concern for the greater good but to maintain unnecessary jobs for their members. This resistance to progress stifles innovation and burdens consumers with the cost of inflated wages and benefits. The result is an inefficient system where the consumer pays more while getting less, all to satisfy the unreasonable demands of unions that prioritize their own interests over the common good.
The Public Sector Is Being Held Hostage
Public sector unions have become a destructive force, holding the public hostage with outrageous demands rooted in blatant political corruption.
Politicians, eager for campaign contributions and voter support, are often compelled to bow to these unions’ demands, regardless of the broader public interest. This unholy alliance ensures that union leaders, often corrupt and self-serving, wield disproportionate power, forcing their agenda through intimidation and coercion. Union members themselves have little say in these malign decisions, as dissent is quashed by thugs and goons who enforce the leadership’s will with ruthless efficiency.
The result is a system where the public suffers, shackled by the excessive demands of unions that care more about their political clout than the well-being of the communities they claim to serve.
Your Children’s Future Is Being Compromised.
Teachers’ unions prioritize their interests over students’ education and well-being, jeopardizing your children’s future.
These unions continually demand more pay, benefits, and reduced workloads. Yet, they preside over a failing system that graduates another generation of functional illiterates—students who lack basic life skills and a working knowledge of their country’s history and civic duties.
Instead of focusing on academic excellence, young children are being sexualized and exposed to inappropriate content.
At the same time, unions push agendas that erode parental rights, treating students as their property and viewing allocated funds as their entitlement.
This betrayal of trust compromises not only your children’s education but also the future of our nation.
Bottom line.
Over the years, the system has built into its workers' health, welfare, and safety needs, as well as their legal right to address grievances and protection against wrongful termination. Big Labor has become little more than a legal extortion racket.
Therefore, while I might salute individual workers on this holiday, I say that big labor and its unions are growing cancer on the body politic – and must be abolished before they rot our nation into a socialist shell of a third-world nation.
History is replete with examples of the Marxist and Communist domination of labor … and it would be naive to think that it is any different today.
So raise a glass to the decent, hard-working Americans who do the necessary work – with quiet ability, confidence, and competence – while saying, at the very same time, screw the corrupt unions which are dragging our nation into a polarized world of socialism or worse.
We are so screwed.

For the working man...
August 31, 1988 Each Labor Day, we pause as a nation to honor some of the greatest heroes of the American story. On this 94th Labor Day, I ask all Americans to join me in offering heartfelt thanks and praise to working men and women. We salute working people because they have built our land with skill, energy, and resourcefulness, transforming raw materials into a shining edifice of freedom and prosperity. On Labor Day we recognize these achievements and reflect on the meaning and dignity of work and on the values it protects and strengthens — the values we as a nation hold most dear. In both peacetime and time of war, American workers have always offered each other and the world their very best, affirming their liberty as individuals and as members of a team and promoting the ideals of free enterprise and democracy here and around the globe. America’s workers continue to display the spirit, ingenuity, and adaptability to new conditions that labor and employers alike need if our economy is to continue to grow. This willingness to meet every challenge speaks volumes about the health and vitality of our way of life. Let us always remember that so much of what we are, we owe to working men and women. God gave us this land, but, under His good graces, the labor of our people has helped it flourish and pour forth its plenty for ourselves and the world. For all these reasons, America celebrates Labor Day, 1988 with fresh gratitude and pride. Ronald Reagan |
