Cummings Recognizes Labor Day Washington, D.C. (September 2, 2016)— Today, Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD) issued the following statement in recognition of Labor Day: “The hard-working men and women that make up our workforce are America’s greatest resource. Today, we celebrate them and the labor movement, which has fought tirelessly to protect the rights of American workers. “If America is going to continue being a shining city upon a hill, we in Congress must work to provide our workers with more opportunity, not less.
