						Brothers and Sisters,  
						Brothers & Sisters: I hope you and your families had 
						a safe, restful and happy Labor Day! Each and every year, 
						Labor Day is a time for reflection. Every day, but especially 
						on Labor Day, we need to take time to remember all the men 
						and women of the labor movement who risked their jobs and 
						their lives. Through their efforts we can now enjoy the 
						weekends off, a 40 hour work week, and secure wages and 
						benefits that all working families deserve. These benefits 
						should never be taken for granted. 
 Thank you for all you do every day! I hope you all enjoyed 
						a well deserved day off!
 
						Fraternally, Alan Marzullo
