U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) today released the following statement to commemorate Labor Day:
"Labor Day honors the workers who built our country and the middle class. Workers laid down roadways and railways to move people and products around the country. Women and men on shopfloors, docks, and in the mines worked to support their families and communities. Their drive built a great nation. And their insistence that a great nation ensures fair wage.
