You've safely stored it with "set aSel to selection"; AppleScript resolves
selection straight away.

Right. Something like this:

  set labelNames to name of item layer of every item of aSel
  repeat with n from 1 to count aSel
        tell item n of aSel to insert label value (item n of labelNames) key
"gslg" 
  end repeat
