LABOR [LABOUR] DAY 9.3.2012


Labor Day History

Iconic image of Rosie the Riveter, but with the words 'Don't Call me Rosie. Or Else!' above her head.
In June, 1894, Congress passed an act declaring the first Monday in September Labor Day and a legal holiday in all states, territories and the District of Columbia. Created by the nation's labor movement and dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers, Labor Day is an annual yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

 

Have A Safe And Sane Labor Day!
