End of summer sales and barbeques may come to mind when you think of Labor Day, but the meaning of the holiday is more significant. Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 honoring the contributions of working-class Americans.
For years working conditions were severe. Employees often worked 60-70 hours a week with little to no time off. During the 19th century Labor Movement, workers fought for fundamental protections that we are accustomed to now. Overtime pay, workers’ compensation, child labor laws, and sick leave are among those protections.
Social and economic movements in our country benefit from the strength, growth and prosperity created by working Americans. Labor Day pays tribute to these vital contributions.
Celebrate your contributions and the contributions of your fellow Americans with one of our classic Labor Day favorites.
