(DETROIT, MICHIGAN & PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA) - From blocking overtime benefits for Workers to cutting taxes on the rich, Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris spent Labor Day first in Detroit and then in Pittsburgh slamming the Anti-Worker record of her Republican foe, former President and current felon Donald Trump.

She contrasted Trump’s record of disdain for Workers with the Labor Movement’s record of aiding not just its own Members, but everyone else.

“Everywhere I go, I tell people, ‘Look, you may not be a Union Member, (but) you better thank a Union Member for the five-day work week, you better thank a Union Member for sick leave, you better thank a Union Member for paid leave, you better thank a Union Member for vacation time and even for the weekend,’” Harris said. “When Union wages go up, everybody’s wages go up. When Union workplaces are safer, every workplace is safer.  When Unions are strong, America is strong.  As we fight to move forward, Donald Trump is trying to pull us backward, including back to a time before Workers had the freedom to organize.”

Trump’s one-line answer was a tweet: “Happy Labor Day to all of our American Workers who represent the Shining Example of Hard Work and Ingenuity.”

He then complained about rising gasoline prices and grocery prices - both of which have flattened or fallen in the past year.

Then Trump sneeringly called Harris: “Comrade Kamala.”

But the night before, in a pre-taped TV interview, Trump was even more incendiary, claiming he had a right to overthrow the government three and a half years ago, though he legitimately lost the Presidency, telling a Fox News interviewer: “Whoever heard you get indicted for interfering with a Presidential Election, where you have every right to do it, you get indicted, and your poll numbers go up.”

Trump is infuriated over the latest Ipsos Poll that shows Harris winning nationally with 52% to his 46%, a lead for Harris which is outside the margin of error.

The polls also show that among Women under 45 the main issue is abortion rights with the economy coming in second - which is particularly troubling to Trump, who has bragged often that he is responsible for killing the Constitutional right to an abortion by virtue of the U.S. Supreme Court appointments he made when he was President.
