Labor Days Greeting from Wendell W. Young, IV
To all members of UFCW Local 1776:
Best wishes to you and your family for a happy and safe Labor Day.
Today reminds us of the important contributions that working men and women and their unions have made to build a better life and stronger communities for all of us.

Come on, Mr. Papa John Pizza. Are you really worried about a few cents more for pizza if millions of Americans get health care?
Here's the real question: Who in their right mind would object to paying 20 cents more for a pizza if it means that millions of more Americans will have health care coverage? Apparently the owner of Papa John's Pizza -- a strong supporter of Mitt Romney -- does.
