Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers and is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. Our Labor Union, APFA, has worked hard over the past year to improve our quality of life. Thank you to each and every Member for your contributions and support to APFA and one another. We are all the Union. We are APFA.
