It's Mayday...

Today should be the day when all but the most essential workers in the U.S. get the day off. Alas, today is Law Day. And, you know, sometimes symbolism is important, and today should be a symbolic day. It is a date that commemorates the weekend, the 8-hour workday, child-labor laws, etc. Instead, our governmen t calls it Law Day, as if worker activism and the law were contradictory. I wonder how many high-school teachers are using today as a teaching moment about anti-labor forces in the U.S.? I wonder how many of them feel comfortable doing so?
