Maine Labor History Mural Finally Sees Light of Day
Not quite two years ago, Maine Gov. Paul LePage (R) ordered the removal of an 11-panel, 36-foot mural depicting the stateās labor history from the Department of Labor. LePage, who supports āright to workā for less laws and has pushed to weaken child labor laws , claimed the mural was anti-business and akin to North Korean propaganda . But it is back on public display after the state Department of Labor and Maine State Museum reached an agreement to display the mural for three years at the Augusta Museum.
