On July 4, 1776 the First Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In that document the Founding Fathers formally declared our independence from British rule and sounded a call to action that would transform 13 colonies into the Unites States of America.Americans will celebrate 237 years of freedom today in many different ways. We’ll fly the Stars and Stripes, barbecue in the backyard, enjoy ballgames, spend time with family and friends and, of course, ooh and aah at fireworks.

I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.
