“By all these lovely tokens September days are here, with summers best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer.” Helen Hunt Jackson
For most people, Labor Day is the end of summer, a long weekend that gives a reason to enjoy pool parties and barbecues with friends & family. True that! It’s the right occasion to bask in the summer heat for the last time! There’s nothing wrong about enjoying Labor Day with our loved ones. However, unlike other national holidays, Labor Day is considered to be a red-letter day and holds profound importance in the history of America. Whether you’re a student or work in corporate, it’s important for you to understand that Labor Day is a token of gratitude for all the American workers who’ve had and who are still contributing in the social and economic development of America in some way or the other.
Labor Day History: How did Labor Day Come About?
Earlier, during the 1800s, American workers were exploited and treated like scum. They used to work day-in and day-out at their master’s beck and call in highly unsafe conditions without even having basic necessities. To be honest, it was the darkest phase for labors in the American history. But as they say, ‘Every dark cloud has a silver lining’ the workers decided to fight against this injustice. In protest, thousands of labors took unpaid time off and marched from City Hall right to Union Square in NY on the 5th of September, 1882. This revolutionary movement is observed as Labor Day in the United States till now. This year, Labor Day will be celebrated on 3rd of September 2018.
