Immigrant workers. Women workers. Workers of color. Child laborers. Workers of the world. Together we are powerful. Together we have fought and won the 8 hour workday, the 40 hour workweek, we have demanded fair labor practices, and the right to public benefits and services. But our work is far from over. We stand on the shoulders of giants. It is our duty to continue the legacy of liberation.
