This Labor Day we recognize those who have fought for better pay, better benefits and better working conditions for American workers.

Some of those fighters were the 6,000 workers who walked off their jobs at 50 Grand Rapids furniture factories in 1911 after attempts to negotiate higher wages, a shorter workday and the right to collectively bargain failed.

The strike lasted four months before workers returned to their jobs without the gains they sought. While the workers were not immediately successful in improving pay and working conditions, the strike is considered the foundation for organized labor and union membership in Grand Rapids.

The Spirit of Solidarity monument in Ah Nab Awen Park, commemorated in 2007, tells the story of the strike through three figures; two men and a woman. Sculptor Roberto Chenlo included two men to represent the workers and a woman to recognize the thousands of wives and families who marched in solidarity and supported the strikers.

We continue to fight for better for workers every day.

you know you're doing something right when you get thousands of comments in the span of a week from triggered bots and trolls who don't even live in Michigan. the best part is that they're all dropping the same 5 low-quality, ai memes because they can't talk about the issues

The more they engage the more our message spreads throughout the country!
