• We love our union workers, but we’re also dedicating the above video to all the undocumented brothers and sisters we come into contact with a lot more often.
• No need to lock up all your white clothing after today. Then again, unless you’re a coked-up techno performer, those cream Levi’s should stay deep in the closet. [Houston Chronicle]
• The holiday’s for roasting wieners and drinking beer, so why bring up the love lost between Latino immigrants and unemployed Black workers? Cuz we feel like it, that’s why. [San Francisco Chronicle]
• Labor Day also gets way commercial, giving the cashier jockeys who ring up your ‘Labor Day Blow-Out!!!’ purchases another reason to be disgruntled. [Detroit Free Press]
In other news…
• This snapshot of a Puerto Rican kid boasting a blinged-out banana should, uh, swell any boriqueño’s heart with pride? [Vulture]
• “Godfather” director Francis Ford Coppola searches for property in south Brazil to turn into a tourist resort. We’ll refrain from any jokes about making an offer they can’t refuse. [Yahoo! News]
• Hurricane Felix, a category 5 monster, is expected to hit the Nicaraguan and Honduran coasts early tomorrow. Apparently God doesn’t take a vacation from being pissed off at Latinos. [CNN]
• Mexican singer Thalía received a birthday cake in the shape of her pregnant figure from husband Tommy Mottola. We’ll stick with the holiday as an excuse for not writing a punchline here. [Voy Music]

    Maybe I’m too much of a traditionalist, but I do stop accessorizing using white friends after Labor Day.

    Dude, por si acaso, the thing the kid has on his neck is supposed to be a plantain. I’ve never been able to make tostones or mofongo using a banana.
