Yesterday we celebrated the summer/fall tweener holiday which is Labor Day. We hope everyone enjoyed their time off. It is a day to honor and celebrate the American labor movement and the contributions of workers to the country's strength, prosperity, and well-being.  The holiday originated in the late 19th century, as labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the contributions of workers and a celebration of their achievements. In essence, Labor Day is a time to appreciate the hard work and dedication of American workers and to recognize the importance of the labor movement in shaping the nation. Indeed, each of us should be proud of our hard work and grateful for the fruits of our labors. Labor Day is an opportunity to reflect on the fact that lighting someone else’s candle won’t make yours any less bright. Certainly, it’s not necessary to blow out someone else’s candle for your light to shine. We get by with a little help from our friends. For many, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, often celebrated with picnics, barbecues, and other outdoor activities.    Choose kindness, embrace the gratitude, and hold off on the pumpkin spice for now…there’s still a few weeks of summer remaining. Speaking of labor, things come to a head on Friday, which will see the release of the August nonfarm payrolls report. The labor market will be firmly in the spotlight, with the latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) scheduled for tomorrow. U.S. consumer spending increased solidly in July, suggesting the economy remained on firmer ground early in the third quarter.  Trying as hard as they might, OPEC+ keeps flailing to keep oil off of the market. However, Brazil, Canada, Guyana and the United States are all increasing their oil output. Sometimes the cartel shifts their strategy and opts to slam on the brakes, reverse course and play a game of chicken to recover its market share by increasing its production. When that happens, the bottom can fall out on oil prices and contango can make its triumphant return. . Prices are now basically the same as they were at the beginning of the year. Cue up the music. Goldman Sachs, lowered its forecast range for Brent crude by $5 per barrel, setting it now at $70 to $85.   The oil storage terminals will be tossing out their rose petals in anticipation.  Meanwhile, the coveted storage locations in NYH, Houston and, of course, the US West Coast have already been fully contracted,  So if you think you might be late to the party, let The Tank Tiger assist you in securing the tanks that you might not know about yet. For example, check out the terminal we’re now showing in the hard working county of Luzerne, PA. There are available tanks for a host of commodities such as renewables and distillates. There are three tanks available – ranging in size from 20,000 to 30,000 barrels. Let us know if you want to learn more. We get by with a little help from our friends.   https://conta.cc/4ebYHY7

What makes Labor Day special to you? Today, AAA Bail Bonds II is tipping our hats to the hard-working individuals who keep our communities safe, running, and thriving! ⚒️🚓 Labor Day isn't just another holiday—it’s a celebration of workers' dedication, sweat, and commitment across every field. From construction sites to classrooms, from office cubicles to police stations, the everyday heroes make the world a better place. Fun Facts: • The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, with a parade of thousands of workers. • The holiday became a federal event in 1894, symbolizing the importance of workers’ rights and their contribution to the nation’s prosperity. • Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest travel times of the year, signaling the end of summer and the beginning of fall activities. • Many historians believe the “no white after Labor Day” rule was created to differentiate the old money elitists from the new money group.

Oregon followed in '87's wake, Labor Day laws they didn’t forsake. **Verse 2:** By 1889, Europe saw the light, May 1 declared, workers’ right. 1894, the U.S. joined the fray, Making Labor Day a holiday. **Bridge:** "Arbeit macht das Leben süß"—German words for all, "Work makes life sweet," it’s the universal call. Across 60 nations, on different days, Labor’s spirit never sways. **Verse 3:** Parades and rallies, speeches, awards, Workers unite, they break all cords. Solidarity’s flame, it burns so bright, In the heart of every Labor fight. **Chorus:** From zenith high to nadir’s depth, Workers’ struggle, we won’t forget. In caverns deep, where history hides, Labor’s legacy, still it rides. **Outro:** Solo Leveling 🤣 dreamwork with a nerdy drive, Excel we shall, let’s strive and thrive.

📅 June 11th in Labor History 📅 1894: Representatives from the AFL, Knights of Labor, Populists, railroad brotherhoods, and other trade unions hold a unity conference in St. Louis. Despite their shared goal of improving workers' rights and conditions, they struggle to overcome ideological and strategic differences, leading to a lack of unified action. This conference highlights the challenges of creating a cohesive labor movement during a time of intense industrialization and labor unrest. 1913: In New Orleans, police open fire on maritime workers striking against United Fruit Co., leading to a tragic outcome: one worker killed and two others wounded. The strike was part of a broader struggle for better wages and working conditions in a time when labor rights were fiercely contested. 1969: John L. Lewis, a towering figure in American labor history, passes away. As president of the United Mine Workers from 1920 to 1960, Lewis played a pivotal role in improving working conditions and wages for miners. He was also instrumental in forming the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which organized industrial workers across various sectors. His leadership and vision significantly shaped the labor movement in the 20th century. #LaborHistory #EqualPay #WorkersRights #OnThisDay #UFCW #solidarity
