Labor Day

Labor Day is a national holiday in the United States, celebrated on the first Monday of September. It honors the contributions and achievements of American workers and the labor movement. Established in the late 19th century during a time of industrial growth and labor unrest, it serves as a tribute to the strength and spirit of the workforce. Many people enjoy the long weekend with activities like picnics, parades, and various celebrations, while some use it as a time to reflect on workers' rights and the importance of fair labor practices in society.
