No such luck.
First, I went to LinkTV, and it's all of the same global programming they have on every non-holiday day of the week.
Second in line, FSTV, or FreeSpeechTV. Well, other than Democracy Now! maybe doing something on their show that day, there was nothing in the programming schedule about Labor.
Third, I thought maybe I'll find something on the new channel, the one that used to be the Documentary Channel, and has now been re-branded as Pivot TV, which is supposed to be about making a difference in the world, much like Labor did and still does. Okay, they don't have their normal programming as they seem to have decided instead to air a marathon showing of Veronica Mars all day.
So, none of the cable/satellite channels have anything special scheduled for Labor Day that has anything to do with Labor. Figures. I guess I'll have to try PBS. The channel that has Frontline and Nova and other fine series like that, they should have something special scheduled for Monday, right?
Nope.
Maybe the thing to do is to get some of your friends together at a coffee shop and have a lively discussion about the issues around Labor and what that day means to us all. Someone may get educated about what you know, including people at surrounding tables
