Ald. Bill Conway (34) posted "Happy Labor Day, Chicago! Today, we honor the hardworking men and women who built this city and the historic role Chicago has played in the labor movement. From Haymarket to Pullman, our city has always been at the forefront of union rights!"
Ald. Matt Martin (47) posted "Chicago’s Pullman neighborhood has a proud place in labor history— the home of the Pullman strike and the first Black-led union. Thank you @chicagolabor for hosting another wonderful Labor Day Parade in this beautiful neighborhood ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼"
Ald. Andre Vasquez (40) posted "We are fortunate to live in a city known for the union organizing and strength that established the values and rights for workers all over our nation. The fight that was necessary to establish them is one that remains and continues to ensure that people and families that work have the respect, the dignity, the rights, and benefits that they deserve. This Labor Day, let us all find time to reflect on what we have, and what we have yet to accomplish. To all who have today to spend with families, to relax, and to enjoy the day, please do so fully, and in tribute to those who fought so hard to make this day possible. Happy Labor Day!"
Mayor Brandon Johnson posted "I am praying for every family whose loved one was murdered in Gaza, including that of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose family has roots in the Chicagoland area. No parent or family should ever have to experience such pain, and my deepest condolences to all suffering in this war."
