Took a trip to the Granby Zoo today, only to realize when we got there that the zoo workers are striking and have been locked out by management since July. Our 6-year-old was (amazingly?) understanding about not crossing the picket line. We ended up having a lovely time at nearby Lac Boivin instead, seeing tons of wildlife among the autumn colors.

"Wall Street didn't build the country," the Democratic President later added. "The #MiddleClass built the country, & #unions built the middle class. That's a fact. Let's keep it going."

Biden's visit mark the first time in at least a century that a sitting president has visited a #labor #union's #PicketLine…. #UAW President #ShawnFain joined #Biden at the picket line.

“The CEOs think the future belongs to them,” #Fain said. ”Today belongs to the auto workers in the working class.”
