Questions for labor day

There is one local newsperson who makes it central to his writing to campaign against unions and to complain about union influence at the legislature.
Daniel Weintraub of the Bee.
There is a second writer ( more of a gossip collector than a newsperson) Jill Steward, printed in News and Review who writes diatribes against unions in general and teachers in particular.

I just wonder if these two took Labor Day off- with pay or without pay?
