Obama thanks labor for hard-won rights at work

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama said Monday the country still faces a "vast and complex" economic crisis and is pledging to work with business and labor to make things better.

In a Labor Day statement the White House released as he headed for a union picnic in Ohio, Obama voiced confidence that "working Americans will help our nation emerge from this crisis."

He also paid tribute in the holiday proclamation to the contributions that working people have made over the course of history, saying they have "carried us through times of challenge and uncertainty."
