This #LaborDay, we're thinking about:
1/ The home health aides and nursing assistants who look after our most vulnerable but are paid no more than the minimum wage.
They deserve better. @etammykim @nytimes @RBReich

2/ The sex workers who are struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic, especially in Puerto Rico.
They deserve rights like everyone else. @thenation @AriMejorado @LaSombrillaCuir @swopusa #LaborDay2020

3/ The hundreds of sick workers who are fighting for their lives after cleaning up the 2008 Kingston coal ash spill — America's largest industrial disaster.
They deserve justice. @southerlymag @AustynGaffney @morganhornsby_ @jamiescoop #LaborDay2020

On this Labor Day, let's remember that we have the 8 hr work day and a 40 hr work week because of the labor movement. #LaborDay2020 /2
On this Labor Day, when you take cute photos of your kids, let's also remember that we have child labor laws because of the labor movement. #LaborDay2020 /3
Two facts come to mind when I reflect on #LaborDay2020. 1st, I can't help but think abt the Imperial Foods workplace tragedy that befell friends & neighbors in my @CityofHamlet hometown in 1991. (1/6) #ncpol @RaleighReporter @jimmorrill @NCCapitol @PFFPNC

2nd, also wearing my Insurance Commissioner hat, I reflect upon what #LaborDay is about & all the rights + benefits for most workers that were gained only by the blood, sweat, tears, and even lives of workers past. (3/6)

“There’s a lot of bad news these days. But when good things happen, it’s important to take note. A cadre of smart state leaders and lawyers newly focused on workers’ rights can only make things better for workers nationwide.” — @TerriGerstein

Prior work @mslater_johnson shows inspections => safety
