Cheryl Cage: Labor Day Message


Happy Labor Day!

Today is a special time to pay tribute to those working men and women who came before us. Those who worked hard to bring us safer work places, a living wage for many and the 40-hour work week.

As President Clinton remarked in 1997, "workers are the heart and soul of our nation.

We will only see wages grow and the number of jobs steadily increase for those workers if we emphasize education and training, partnership between labor and management, and responsibility by all for improving the quality of the goods and services we produce. In the twilight of this century, it is our responsibility to prepare our workers for the challenges of the next. As we pause today to celebrate the many contributions of the American worker, let us rededicate ourselves to this important effort."

These comments ring particularly true as we struggle with Arizona's economy and the attack on our public schools.

Best wishes to all for a happy and safe Labor Day.
