VIERNES 1 DE SEPTIEMBRE, 2023
This holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being. Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the ‘unofficial NFL season kickoff.’ 99.44 percent of the time, the NFL plays its first official season game the Thursday after Labor Day. The first Waffle house opened on Labor Day. Labor Day parades, rallies or demonstrations often feature large crowds holding banners to promote workers› rights in the main streets of major cities. Having the day off means people can either relax at home or spend time with family or friends. American labor has raised the nation’s standard of living and contributed to the greatest production the world has ever known and the labor movement has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership – the American worker.
