But first a little history!

Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. It is the Monday of the long weekend known as Labor Day Weekend. (source) 

What is Labor Day and why do we celebrate it?

Labor Day in the United States is a holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is a celebration of the American labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.

Labor Day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, who organized the first parade in New York City. After the Haymarket Massacre, which occurred in Chicago on May 4, 1886, U.S. President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the affair. Thus, in 1887, it was established as an official holiday in September to support the Labor Day that the Knights favored.

The equivalent holiday in Canada, Labour Day, is also celebrated on the first Monday of September. In many other countries, "Labour Day" is synonymous with, or linked with, International Workers' Day, which is observed on May 1.

Fabulously Fun Facts:

Labor Day in the 21st century has become all about beaches, BBQs, ballgames, and buying things. Before COVID, 25% of Americans would be planning a trip to get out of town for Labor Day weekend. More than 102 million people will be enjoying a cookout, and thousands would be packing college football stadiums. We know the average Labor Day weekend shopper will still make it a priority to hit up the sales.

Here are a few facts you absolutely should know, so Labor Day can be filled with appreciation and love for those who made it happen.

  • We give thanks to a group of brave souls who stood their ground on working long hours and in adverse conditions, then marched forth so these horrible conditions would change, otherwise, today, you would still be working 12 hours a day with no choice.
  • Labor Day started in Ontario during the 1870s when workers went on strike to work less than 12 hours per day (they pushed for 9 hours!). It then spread to New York City, where 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall to 42nd street.

Tree of Life

Shout out to you, Oregon, for making our 3-day weekend!

In 1887, Oregon was the first state to make Labor Day a public holiday. Then came Colorado, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey - and then the rest followed. President Grover Cleveland was the one who signed into law a bill saying that the first Monday in September will be known as "Labor Day."

Labor Day would pave the way for business.

On Labor Day in 1955, the very first Waffle House opened in Avondale Estates, Georgia. Now, Waffle House has over 1500 establishments across the United States. Talk about hard labor! And OH, so yummy.

Oh gosh, let's expand on Labor Day and where we would all be today, had it not been for so many unusual changes implemented by hard-working people with a lot of guts to make the changes we know and love today.

It should be called Labor Grover Day.

When the railroad workers had enough, they went on strike, causing a series upset in the economy and travel. President Grover Cleveland made a brilliant decision and dedicated the first Monday of every September to celebrating Labor day like it's a gift. On June 28, 1894, President Cleveland signed a law making it a federal holiday in June of 1894. Wow, thanks dude, we so appreciate it.

More than 8 hours? Seriously?

Yepper, be thankful today that you didn't exist back then. But someone in your lineage certainly did. Those big smiles say it all about our current laws. In the 9th Century, Americans worked seven days a week for about 12 hours a day to make a living. That included young children, YOUNG CHILDREN, who were sweating it out in factories to help contribute.

On average, today, Americans work 8 hours a day, five days a week. Thanks to the Adamson Act, which passed on September 3, 1916, federal law started regulating hours worked for private companies. Because the law was passed in early September, Labor Day also celebrates the Adamson Act.

An unsung Hero that made life better.

Frances Perkins would have been famous by merely being the first woman cabinet member, but her legacy also stems from her additional accomplishments. She was mostly responsible for the U.S. adoption of social security, unemployment insurance, the federal minimum wage, and federal laws regulating child labor.

As Secretary, Perkins oversaw the Department of Labor. Perkins went on to hold the position for twelve years, longer than any other Secretary of Labor. She also became the first woman to hold a cabinet position in the United States and thus became the first woman to enter the presidential line of succession.

The selection of a woman to the cabinet had been rumored in the four previous administrations, with Roosevelt being the first to follow through. Roosevelt had witnessed Perkins' work during their time in Albany. With few exceptions, President Roosevelt consistently supported the goals and programs of Secretary Perkins.

As Secretary of Labor, Perkins played a key role in the cabinet by writing New Deal legislation, including minimum-wage laws. Her most important contribution, however, came in 1934 as chairwoman of the President's Committee on Economic Security (CES).

In this post, she was involved in all aspects of its reports, including her hand in the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps and the She-She-She Camps.Perkins also drafted the Social Security Act of 1935. On the day the bill was signed into law, her husband escaped from a mental institution.

How interesting! Many people went to bat for change, so that we may revel in a glorious weekend together. We give thanks.
