Hello,
This weekend marks Labor Day – and there’s no better place to celebrate than in Pittsburgh, where the labor movement has a long and storied history. We like to say Pittsburgh built America, but, in many ways, it was labor that built Pittsburgh.
There is a lot happening throughout the region this weekend, and a great round up of events and activities can be found at visitpittsburgh.com. There, you’ll find information about several food and music festivals and, of course, the annual Labor Day Parade, which is the largest and oldest Labor Day Parade in the nation.
The local Allegheny/Fayette Central Labor Council does a tremendous job putting this parade together, drawing thousands of union members, workers, leaders, and elected officials to Pittsburgh.
We want to wish you and your family a happy Labor Day, and we hope you enjoy the weekend. We want to thank all of the workers who make this weekend possible, but we particularly want to recognize those who will have to work on Labor Day, especially our first responders and healthcare workers. We appreciate all of you and thank you for the work you are doing.
