Governor’s message on the occasion of Labour Day.

Dear citizens,
On this Labour Day, we come together to celebrate the contributions and hard work of the working people in our state. Today, we recognize the tireless efforts of those who build, produce, and serve, and who keep our economy and society running smoothly.

As we look back on the past year, we can see the tremendous challenges that the pandemic has posed to workers across our state. We honor the sacrifices made by front line workers, essential
workers, and all those who have worked to keep our communities safe and healthy.

At the same time, we must also look forward to the future, and continue to support and advocate for workers’ rights and fair labor practices. We must ensure that everyone has access to good
jobs, fair wages, and safe working conditions, and that all workers are treated with dignity and respect.

On this Labour Day, let us renew our commitment to building a better, more equitable future for all workers in our state. Thank you, and Happy Labour Day.
