That's a good question, but I suspect the answer lies in the history of the labor movement in this country.

ETA: I just asked in the About The Forum forum (?, sounds funny). Let's see what they say.

The picture can be found here:

Welcome to Globalmet Industries Ltd | International steel company supplying steel products to five continents worldwide

It is indeed a scene from a steel mill.

Just a note on Labor Day, this is the "labor day" created by the system to pretend that they actually care about workers. It was created in an attempt to assuage the working class after the army murdered thirty striking Pullman workers in Chicago in 1894. The real labor Day is May 1st-- International Worker's Day, the day most of the world calls Labor Day.

It's steel being drawn and quartered by an angry mob brandishing torches. Oh, the horror of it all.

The OP is proof eye witnesses are not very reliable - they see what they want and is proof enough for them. Too often...what they think they saw never existed and makes no sense at all in the case at hand.

They are probably union workers and for most conservatives thats bad...very bad.
A Tea Party inspired group in Washington state is working today in protest of this socialistic holiday. Does anyone really think the Tea Party will be satisfied with getting rid of Obamacare..they have a full plate of stuff they want to get rid of.
