Labor Day and Unions

<p>P&C review Georgia Avenue Sour, a tart peach ale from Dennizen's Brewery.</p> <p>Labor day started with a one-day strike in New York in 1882, and became an official day to celebrate workers under Grover Cleveland. P&C evaluate the development and idea of labor unions.</p> <p>Unions often take credit for weekends and the 5-day work week, but that might have come from Henry Ford and the competition for scarce labor.</p> <p>P&C are generally on the politically conservative side of things, but still like the idea of labor unions for several reasons: (1) as a counter-balance to management, (2) to set standards for the profession, (3) to train the next generation of skilled workers.</p>
