Summary

On the 125th anniversary of Labor Day, the FOX News Rundown takes a deep look at America's labor movement. According to a recent Gallup report, union membership is at its lowest levels in 15 years. While candidates are still jockeying for the support of organized labor, it is unclear if those endorsements will have the same impact in 2020 as they had in prior elections. Steven Greenhouse, author of "Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor," joins FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to discuss the state of unions in America. Former NFL player and coach Tony Dungy and his wife Lauren have devoted much of their lives to family and football. On the FOX News Rundown, Tony and Lauren Dungy join FOX's Chris Foster to discuss their new children's book "Carson Chooses Forgiveness," their passion for adoption and the NFL season that kicks off later this week! Plus, commentary from author Matt Palumbo. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
