The proposal for the first Labor Day in 1882 dictated that the holiday would recognize the "strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations." 144 years later, we continue to reserve the first Monday of September to do exactly that.

To the hardworking people building America: your labor, grit, and sacrifice deserves to be celebrated. CAM is wishing you a very happy and restful Labor Day.

We will be closed on Monday, September 7th to celebrate workers' contributions everywhere. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to serving you when we reopen on Tuesday.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Pressure to perform is everywhere—but pressure alone doesn’t create results. People do.

In the keynote presentation at Safety Leadership Conference, Dr. John Austin will cut through the noise and share the leadership behaviors that actually drive safety, retention, and operational improvement—based on decades of real-world application and behavioral science.
