SUMMARY:Labor Day
DESCRIPTION:Labor Day is a federal holiday on the first Monday of September every year. It has its roots in the American labor movement. \nIs Labor Day a Public Holiday?\nThis is a state public holiday. State government offices are closed. Some schools and businesses may also be closed on this day. \nWhat Day Is Labor Day?\nLabor Day is on the first Monday of September every year and is a national holiday in the US. It has its origins in the labor movement and is a day to celebrate American workers. \nPeople celebrate Labor Day with picnics\, sports events\, and street parades. The American football season begins on—or around—Labor Day. \nWhy don’t the US celebrate in May\, like the rest of the world? \nLabor Day Weekend\nLabor Day has become the unofficial end of summer—after Labor Day Weekend\, kids are back to school. \nFor many\, it is the last chance to take a break before school starts again for the fall session\, and people take advantage of the long weekend to take a last summer trip. As a result\, there may be extra traffic on highways and at airports. \nHistory of Labor Day\nLabor Day has deep roots in the 130 years of the labor movement and its efforts to improve working conditions in America. It is also known as International Workers’ Day or May Day and is celebrated on May 1 internationally. \nWith the growth of the Industrial Revolution came the demand for labor and trade unions. Around the 1850s\, eight-hour movements across the world aimed to reduce the working day from ten to eight hours. At its first congress in 1886\, the American Federation of Labour called for a general strike in Chicago on May 1 to demand an eight-hour day\, which culminated in what is known today as the Haymarket affair. \nWhen Was the First Labor Day?\nThe first Labor Day celebration was the Labor Day parade in New York City on September 5\, 1882. Its origins stem from the Central Labor Union’s and other labor organizations’ desire to create a holiday for workers. Oregon was the first state to pass it as a legal holiday in 1887\, and by the end of the same year\, Colorado\, Massachusetts\, New Jersey\, and New York had passed laws creating a Labor Day holiday. President Grover Cleveland made it a federal holiday in 1894. \nWho Founded Labor Day?\nAccording to the US Department of Labor\, it is not completely clear who first suggested the Labor Day holiday. Some sources say that Matthew Maguire proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. Others argue that Peter J. Mcguire\, co-founder of the American Federation of Labor\, suggested a holiday for the ‘laboring classes’ in 1882. \nThe holiday was set on the first Monday in September because this was considered a more politically neutral date than May 1. Another reason was to add a holiday to bridge the long gap between Independence Day in July and Thanksgiving in November.
