From Interfaith Worker Justice (http://www.iwj.org):
Labor Day weekend provides a unique opportunity for working people, people of faith and the labor movement to rediscover their common bonds: equality and equity, the Common Good, dignity and respect of all persons, and fair treatment in the workplace.
That’s why this Labor Day weekend, people of all faiths are organizing services focused on celebrating working people and calling for justice for all across the nation.
Will you take leadership in the name of worker justice and plan an event? Learn more at http://www.iwj.org/resources/labor-day-weekend-resources.
The program at these events is up to you, but we have resources tailored to different faith tradition to help make every event a success.
Your event could be a celebration of the ever-growing relationship between faith and worker rights. You could shine a light on the efforts of past labor leaders and workers to win real reforms. You could educate people about the oppressive working conditions and poverty wages millions of working people are forced to endure.
Organizing a service on worker justice over Labor Day weekend is a great opportunity for your congregation to recognize the sacred work of all its members and support struggles for justice everywhere.

Thank you so much for celebrating working people and elevating the struggle for dignity and respect for all.
