TODAY IS LABOR DAY!
Every day provides an opportunity to celebrate life. Today in the United States, as a nation we are celebrating workers. Labor Day is a federal holiday, that honors workers. The history of Labor Day inspired today’s poem.
a long weekend holiday.
That is a real bummer.
it means back to school.
but these are modern views.
as workers searched for a solution,
thus, unions were introduced.
to get workers’ rights!
and wanted a fair wage.
unions provided collective power.
as the workers holiday.
thousands took part.
for a picnic and union remarks.
legalizing Labor Day.
to break the Pullman strike.
Cleveland was screwed,
by nationalizing Labor Day.
History of the Holidays: Labor Day | History
In the United States Labor Day provides workers with a long weekend. It is often a time for a final summer barbecue with friends and family. But over 100 years ago, workers had to fight for this time to relax and enjoy family. This video will provide you with the history of the holiday.

Hi. Am a bit delayed in my replies. Been busy with work related matters. I was able to post just once the past week and it felt good. Thanks for your visit and very profound contribution.
Anyway, we celebrate our Labor Day on May First. It's a legal national holiday so everyone can celebrate and honor all those who work in our country. Unfortunately, most leftist groups use this to their advantage by staging protest march and rallies to denounce what they perceive to be injustices done to the labor force. At times these rallies become violent and they disrupt what would otherwise be a joyous celebration.
But majority of the people don't join in the activities and instead go to the beach or to the mall for movie and food or just stay home to enjoy the holiday. It is not celebrated as much as Christmas Day or New Year or even Valentine's Day. It's a pity that only public school students are required to participate in the Labor Day parade under the heat of the sun.
I read that most countries celebrate Labor Day on May 1st. It is said that the celebration sometimes turns violent. The origins of the day was workers rights in this country. September was chosen, so there would be a holiday, while the weather is still nice. Many people here also go the beach or have cookouts.
I am glad that you are okay and have just been busy with work. I have missed a few post myself, take care of Mom.
