McGuire Memorial National Commemorative Site. The bill notes McGuire's historical role in founding the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and proposing Labor Day. It clarifies that this new site will not be a unit of the National Park System. Additionally, the bill allows the Secretary to enter into cooperative agreements to provide educational and interpretive programs. Finally, it states that the designation will not prohibit property owners from taking actions regarding their property.
