Hoyer Statement on Labor Day
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today recognizing Labor Day, which is observed on Monday, September 4, 2017:
“Today we celebrate the hard-won workers’ rights victories that brought better pay and safer conditions to millions of American families. For generations, workers and labor organizations have stood up to demand that the American Dream not fall out of reach for those who work hard every day. I’m proud to join with House Democrats in defending workers’ rights and standing with those who are endeavoring to achieve fair wages and benefits, affordable health care, and a secure retirement.
“On this Labor Day, let us remember the hardworking men and women who built our economy and made it the strongest in the world, whether they were born here or not. House Democrats will continue to support policies that lead to the creation of good jobs that pay well and enable everyone to achieve the American Dream. In addition, we will continue to strongly oppose efforts by the Trump Administration and its Republican allies in Congress to undermine workers’ protections in this country and hold them accountable for failing to put forward legislation to support job creation and expand opportunity. Together, we must strive to make America a place where hard work always leads to a better life.”
