The Rhode Island labor movement has much to celebrate this Labor Day. This year, across the Ocean State, our 80,000 members made significant gains at the bargaining table and at the General Assembly. While there are some who would like to portray organized labor as a special interest group, our members know that when we fight for our members, we fight for all working people.
