This photo was taken of miners at the end of their shift during the Gilded Age before they were unionized. This Labor Day remember the blood, sweat, and tears that those before us paid to give the working class the basic rights we enjoy today. #UnionStrong #HappyLaborDay #NoGodsNoMasters

Just a note that if you include alt text everyone can appreciate the image, and more people will repost it.

Well yes but they have probably spent an entire shift in a wet seam perhaps four foot high. This gets them out 4 times faster. It was probably no big deal…… until the rope snapped.

These men’s descendants nearly all voted for the guy who wants to return us to the gilded age. I cannot really explain.
