24. Thanks for posting this moving story of your father, indeed a great man

It seems that we as a nation have almost forgotten the real meaning of Labor Day, and especially the true meaning of the labor force and collective bargaining. Without it, we would still have child labor as a norm and not have the 5-day work work as a norm.

He sounds like he garnered respect from people on all sides, and his memory deserves our respect too, whether it's still Labor Day or not.
