We celebrate Labor Day weekend and going back to school in this week’s issue of NEWisco Weekend.

We have an in-depth story on Strike Funds and how they’ve helped union workers throughout Northeast Wisconsin. Brittney Merlot informs us on new tracking technology and drowning danger in this last official weekend of the summer.

Getting ready for back to school, Jo Ann Krulatz has a story on keeping you and your family safe with back to school posts on social media, and our commentator Amanda Nimmer talks about the ups and the downs of sending your children to school. On the entertainment side of things, Pete Schwaba explores pirate treasure and adventure in the classic movie pick of the week and Teri Barr talks with Shawndell Marks, a music teacher with a message.
