Labor Day/ is the unofficial end of summer /and a day to celebrate American workers, /so a little later, we'll give you tw-o views about the issues confronting American workers,/ one from a prominent labor leader /and another from an organizer.

For months now, /protests have been on. the .rise, /and often in the course of them, fa-scism will be invoked. Demonstrators who oppose President Trump will say /he is a fascist, or-at-least beh-aving like one. There are protesters who identify themselves-as anti-fascist. And by now, you might have heard President Trump say they are really the ones who are fascist.
