For most people, Labor Day means two things: a day off and a chance to say goodbye to the summer. But why is it called Labor Day?
Labor Day is a day set aside to pay tribute to working men and women.
It has been celebrated as a national holiday in the United States and
Canada since 1894. In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, and
the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to
follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on
that date. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations, and
in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the
country.
