Forgot to post this figure this week, but here's what I painted for Labor Day!

This is a Dwarf Cleric model of the Mordengard faction from the amazing miniatures game D&D Chainmail (2001). Mordengard dwarves threw off the shackles of their king and live in a state of revolution, ever striving for a more egalitarian society.

Painted with P3, Citadel shades, and a few pots from Wargames Foundry for the skin.

Monday may have been Labor Day, but it is more than a day off of work.

At ACOEM, protecting the health and safety of workers and workplaces is at the core of what we do – through education and open dialogue across OEM.

We hope you took the chance this Labor Day to reflect on the importance of providing safe and healthy workplaces. #LaborDay is an opportunity to honor the hard work and dedication of every individual who contributes to the prosperity of our nation and world. #OccEnvMed

Listening to The PoliticsGirl Podcast (Unions: Giving Workers a Voice): https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/chrt.fm/track/537745/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/MTH3557869157.mp3?updated=1693887272

In honor of Labor Day we’re going to talk about the importance of the American worker, but more specifically about the importance of union work. American workers have clearly had enough.

Today in Labor History September 5, 1882: The first American Labor Day was observed, with 30,000 workers marching in New York City. The event was connected to a meeting of the radical Knights of Labor. Oregon became the first state to officially recognize the holiday. Over the years, more an more states recognized the holiday. However, by 1886, workers from around the world were celebrating May 1st as International Workers’ Day, in honor of the American anarchists who were wrongly convicted and executed for the Haymarket Affair. Fearing that the May 1st holiday would strengthen anarchist and communist movements, President Cleveland pushed for federal recognition of the September holiday. And in 1894, Congress passed a bill making it an official federal holiday.

So that’s my thought this #LaborDay. Mention, notice, and thank the people in your life that labor to make your life and the life of the people you love possible. Question why those people are paid so little in a society that equates compensation with personal worth. Challenge whether we should continue to do that.

Happy Labor Day 2023!

Labor Day, established in the late nineteenth century, was born out of the union movement. It's a day to recognize the immense contributions and sacrifices of our workers.

"Labor" has no etymology. It comes from Latin "labor", meaning "labor". There’s the Archaic Latin form "labos". But it cannot be traced any further. #LaborDay
