Did you Know?
Labor Day is observed annually in honor of working people on the first Monday in September in all the states and territories, including Peurto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
The day was originally conceived in 1882 by Peter J. McGuire, the radical founder and indefatigable warrior of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of New York.
On 8 May, McGuire proposed to the New York City Central Labor Union that the first Monday in September, because it fell midway between the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving Day, be set aside annually as a "Labor Day."
