Braley Labor Day Statement

By Kirsten Hartman

Washington, D.C. - Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) released the following statement in honor of Labor Day:

"Labor Day has always been a time to gather with family and friends and enjoy the traditional end of summer. But the real purpose of Labor Day is to celebrate American workers, who have been responsible for the most innovative and powerful economy in the world.  Better and safer working conditions exist because American workers fought for them. American workers deserve jobs that pay a living wage for a hard day's work. On this Labor Day, my thoughts are with the hardworking Americans who make our lives better and help make America the greatest country in the world."
