Labor Day – First Monday of the month
Labor Day honors and celebrates the work and accomplishments of the American worker. Labor Day is also appropriately called the “Workingman’s Holiday”. Labor Day offers respect and appreciation for the work you do in or outside of the home, union or non-union, big company, small company, or government. As long as you work somewhere doing some job this holiday is for you!
The first Labor Day was held and celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882. The Central Labor Union in New York City started Labor Day. In 1884, Labor Day was moved to the first Monday in September. Labor Day quickly became popular and one State after another voted for Labor Day as a holiday. On June 28th, 1894, the U.S. Congress voted Labor Day as a national holiday.
Labor Day is also viewed as the official end of Summer. Summer’s heat has already begun to wane. We have a couple of hours less sunlight than we did at the start of Summer. While the Fall Equinox is still a few weeks away, kids go back to school, and Summer vacations are over.
Did you know Canada, The United States, and Bermuda are the only Countries to celebrate Labor Day in September. All other Countries celebrate Labor Day in May.
Union-sponsored parades are common. Many people celebrate Labor Day weekend with one last picnic. It is also the date that many people close up the pool, and put away the boats.
History and Origin of Labor Day
Was it McGuire or Maguire? Either Peter McGuire or Matthew Maguire is the creator of Labor Day. Peter J. McGuire, was an active labor organizer. Peter J. McGuire was also general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor. Peter J. McGuire was the first to suggest a day dedicated to American workers and their accomplishments. The idea immediately became popular. Matthew Maguire however, was secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York in 1882 and many believed that Matthew Maguire proposed the holiday in 1882.
