Happy Labor Day

No cute Google picture for the workers, I guess. But some worthy Labor Day articles nonetheless - recommended are Mark Weisbrot's No Picnic in Alternet, J. Dennis Robinson's Labor Strikes Back in SeacoastNH.com, Eric Hananoki's reprinting of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune's Labor Day editorial, and Nathan Newman's compendium of Labor Day articles. Newman is also spearheading the launch of the new LaborBlog. Stuff like this is invaluable in a world where Business news rules and Labor news is virtually unheard of. Let us never forget, today is a day to honor the latter, not the former. (And it should have been May 1 like most of the rest of the world, but never mind...)
