It's a fairly common term. Ie Labor day, AFL union. But it doesn't have as common of a linguistic relationship it did in prior decades. I bet it's one of those things you'll start seeing everywhere.

Right, you’re saying unions don’t represent labor because if they did, the constant talk about unions who the equivalent of taking about labor.
