Labor Day: What it Means
Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

@Mamapolo2016 But the US has led the world in the destruction of organised labour over the last thirty years. So what is it exactly that they are supposed to be celebrating ?
It’s a great excuse for an end of summer picnic. And a day off.

The US has led the world in a lot of things. @RodionRomanovitch
