LABOR DAY 2018: Mayor Salutes Working Men and Women

September 03 2018
Written by Mayor Eric Garcetti.

VOICES--We salute working men and women because they come together each day, in cities and towns across this country, to build America’s future in a way that lifts up the best of who we are: rising above differences to achieve something bigger than themselves, and moving us forward with hard work, unity, and purpose.

The transformative power of labor is evident in every part of our lives, and I will always stand with working people on what matters most to them — lifting wages, creating jobs, and putting the interests of families first in all that we do.

(Eric Garcetti is the Mayor of Los Angeles.)
