  1. always the first Monday of September, I think it's a holiday that should go away unless you want a day to celebrate the end of summer,

    In September 1892, union workers in New York City took an unpaid day off and marched around Union Square in support of the holiday. But now, protests against President Cleveland's harsh methods made the appeasement of the nation's workers a top political priority. In the immediate wake of the strike, legislation was rushed unanimously through both houses of Congress, and the bill arrived on President Cleveland's desk just six days after his troops had broken the Pullman strike.

    1894 was an election year. President Cleveland seized the chance at conciliation, and Labor Day was born. He was not reelected.

    In 1898, Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, called it "the day for which the toilers in past centuries looked forward, when their rights and their wrongs would be discussed...that the workers of our day may not only lay down their tools of labor for a holiday, but upon which they may touch shoulders in marching phalanx and feel the stronger for it."


  2. The first Monday of September. This year it's on the 3rd.

  3. It's always the first Monday in September. This year, it's the 3rd.

  4. May 1 every year is the Labor Day.

  5. In America it's September 3rd unless you're a Mexican in the Southwest, then it's May day (first).  In other countries it's a different day.

  6. Why is Labor Day a holiday anyway?  Have you seen most Americans dragging hiney to work on Mondays.  Look at their faces.  They seem to hate their job.  Looks like a huge funeral procession.

  7. september 3rd for this year

  8. Seems to fall nine months after our first date.
