Labor Day: A Tribute to Working People
Celebrating Labor Day
Honoring America's Hardworking Spirit
Labor Day is more than just the unofficial end of summer or another excuse to fire up the grill. It's a day to honor the American workforce's grit, dedication, and, let's be honest, sheer amazingness. But have you ever stopped to think about what makes this day so special?
The Meaning Behind Labor Day 🛠️
Labor Day has its roots in the labor union movement in the 19th century, as the workers organized to advocate for safer working conditions and better pay. The first formal Labor Day in the legal books happenend in the state of Oregon in 1987, and on June 28, 1894, US Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday across the country.
This holiday is about recognizing the social and economic achievements of American workers.
