Labor Day is the best opportunity for Americans to honor the valuable contributions that workers have made to the creation of our great and prosperous nation. Veterans, whom Donald Trump repeatedly disrespects, will have their chance for remembrance the week after Election Day on Nov. 11.

The labor holiday marks the beginning of the end of a hard-fought campaign. In the battleground states that will decide the outcome of the long and arduous contest, political ads will dominate the televised professional and college football games that fill the autumnal airways.

Democrats came out of their national convention in Chicago loaded for bear. Now they must keep the momentum. The best way for Democrats to keep the ball rolling toward the end zone is to win over and activate union voters.

The occasion is especially important for Democratic candidates who celebrate the day to recognize their allies in organized labor. Democrats owe much to them. Every cycle, unions contribute millions of votes and dollars to the party’s efforts.

Democrats appreciate union........
