THE FIRST LABOR DAY
The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.
There is an argument about who established the first Labor Day, but the argument seems to be moot.
Etc., Etc.
The vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation's strength, freedom and leadership - the American worker.
Have a great day. Hat's off to all of Labor.

I worked for double time today and still shared a bottle of wine with a bunch of friends.
Happy Labor Day!
Hope it was a good one!
