Honoring Labor Day
This Monday, we celebrate Labor Day in the U.S. Originally created from the labor movement, Labor Day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. The first Labor Day was celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882.
I mention this brief history, because it seems like fewer people actually know or remember why this holiday exists and have lost connection with its roots. After all, are you consciously thinking about celebrating your social and economic achievements as a worker this weekend?
