For more than a century, NYS DOL has worked alongside organized labor to improve the lives of workers. We remain committed to fighting for the rights of all workers. On #LaborDay, we recognize all workers, from those who fought for a fair wage and a safe workplace on the first Labor Day in 1882 to those reentering the workforce today. | New York State Department of Labor
