Two Very Different Labor Days

President Obama at the Greater  Boston
Labor Council Labor Day Breakfast on Monday
"(On Monday) President Obama (issued) an executive order requiring all government contractor employees to be granted seven paid sick days per year starting in 2017.

The order will help 300,000 American workers at a time when the United States continues to rank dead last behind the rest of the developed world in paid sick leave requirements.  That's putting it kindly, since the United States is the ONLY developed nation without a paid sick leave policy...

...Furthermore, President Obama also intends to challenge House and Senate Republicans to put their votes where their mouths are on 'family values' by calling upon them to actually pass The Healthy Families Act which would finally guarantee paid sick leave for every worker who is employed by a business with 15 or more employees."

eye'm thynkin':  The President honored Labor Day by issuing an order that will help American workers. Republican candidate Scott Walker chose instead to use the working man's holiday to release an anti-union campaign video.  

It is obvious which Party supports the average American.  Think about that next November.
