Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers and is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and President Grover Cleveland made Labor Day a national holiday in 1894, as he faced a crisis of railway workers striking in Chicago.
The first Labor Day march was in 1882 in NYC. Because it wasn’t yet an official holiday, many of the attendees risked their jobs by participating in the one-day strike. On their signs, they called for “Less Work and More Pay,” an eight-hour workday and a prohibition on the use of convict labor. In recent decades, Labor Day has been dominated more by barbecues, sales, and last-chance beach days rather than strident labor protests.
