Labor Day Holiday
2024-09-02
During the Industrial Revolution, workers organized strikes, demonstrations, and rallies to push for improved working conditions. Labor Day commemorates the efforts of those who fought for workers’ rights during the labor movement of the late 19th century. Thanks to their struggles, we now enjoy benefits such as the 40-hour workweek, paid time off, sick leave, and safer workplaces. *
