This is going to be a long weekend, and there are lots of great stories from around the blogosphere to keep you busy. In honor of the Labor Day holiday, we will start off with some posts about workers. This week's roundup is brought to you by Mooncat of Left in Alabama. If any blogs were accidentally left out, be assured that it's due to incompetence rather than malice.
