For the first time in 20 years, workers at Portland’s most iconic indie bookstore will go on a ‘No’-Labor Day strike after they say the business violated federal labor laws.
I worked retail for many years destroying my body and rarely if ever getting a federal holiday off. I now work for a job where I do very very little and regularly get federal holidays off.
Quit your bullshit, retail is absolutely labor and it can be absolutely grinding to do.
What kind of fucking corporate ass sucking mentality is that? Labor=work the whole point of labor day is to get a day off and remember those who lost their lives striking against corporate interests for the unions.
Hey man. Not to shit on your biscuit, but in the traditional sense, retail isn’t labor.
Retail and Service Industries deserve respect in their own right.
But this is Labor Day.
Work is labor. Trades aren’t the only people who work for a living.
I’m not saying they don’t belong to the working class, but they aren’t labor.
That is the weirdest take
How so?
The working class is more than labor.

Retail can be hard work, of course.
But it isn’t labor.
