L A B O R D A Y ( S E P T . 3 ) pays tribute to the struggles and achieve- ments of America's working people. The labor movement, including CTA's past and ongoing efforts, has fought tirelessly for workers' rights. You can thank unions for the eight-hour workday, weekends, the end of child labor, and paid holidays such as Labor Day. Help your students understand the history and importance of the labor movement — all month long.
