Make A Difference! The clock is ticking. Much like the end of a movie thriller, there are tremendous stakes in choosing the right option, the one that saves the lives of countless innocents. Our clock, labor’s clock, has been ticking for longer than we’ve wanted, as time after time in the past four years legislators have been elected with anti-union agendas that will go a long way toward crippling organized labor and depriving Tthousands of working families of their livelihoods and their futures. But unlike those innocents in the movies, we don’t need a fictional hero to rescue us – we’re the ones who need to do it, to step up, to get our own “boots on the ground” and save ourselves. The IATSE endorsed President Obama for a second term and did so because as challenging as it has been during these past four years, he has pledged his support for all working people across this nation.

Now is the time to be “all in.” 4 Official Bulletin Our Day, Our Time On Monday September 3rd, residents of the United States and Can- ada celebrated Labor (Labour for our Canadian Brothers and Sisters) Day. For many people this day symbolizes the end of summer and is embraced because of the long weekend that it provides. However, for those of us in organized labor, this day carries with it much more significance. One hundred and thirty years have passed since the first Labor Day ob- Oservance took place. The origins in the United States can be traced to Sep- tember 5, 1882 when the Central Labor Union in New York City organized an unpaid day off for union workers who marched around Union Square to support the creation of the holiday.
