Today is Memorial Day, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. The Union Veterans Council brings working-class veterans together to speak out on the issues that impact vets most, especially the need for good jobs and a strong, fully funded and staffed VA.
The Union Veterans Council also holds private enterprise and elected officials accountable for their words and actions. They believe wholeheartedly that the ability for someone to self-identify as “pro-veteran” isn’t determined by what lapel pin they don or what catchphrase they employ; veterans face real issues that require real actions—constructive actions that lead to positive solutions. The Union Veterans Council fights every day for those who have fought for us, and that’s worth remembering today. On today’s labor calendar: absolutely nothing! Relax and enjoy the holiday. If you want to see what’s happening this week, you could hop on over to dclabor.org and click on Calendar, or you could just grab another cold one and put it off til tomorrow. In today’s labor history, on this date in 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Depression-era National Industrial Recovery Act to be unconstitutional, about a month before it was set to expire. Today’s labor quote is by American businesswoman Tae Yoo, who said: “Military veterans have unique skills, experience, and qualifications that are invaluable to today's workforce, including teamwork and leadership skills, the proven ability to learn quickly, a strong work ethic, dedication, and the ability to work under pressure.” Union City Radio is supported by our friends at Union Plus.
