 Working people built New York City and Labor Day is a moment to reflect on the hard-fought gains that the working class won for all of us. I'm a blue-collar mayor. I was raised by a single working-class mother. She cleaned houses and worked three jobs to give me and my five siblings a better life. Working people across this city and this nation fought hard for all of us to have a better life. Today we celebrate them and we commit to the fight for workers everywhere, wishing all New Yorkers a safe and happy Labor Day.
