What is Labor Day?
Labor Day 2019 –
It was decided to squeeze Labor Day in-between Independence Day and Thanksgiving to not coincide with the Haymarket affair, the incident that happened in Chicago on May 4, 1886 commemorated by the ‘International Labor’s Day’ event every first of May; which workers aim for socialism and under the influence of the Communist Party principles. Former president of the United States Glover Cleveland sealed the agreement with the Knights of Labor and the Central Labor Union in 1887.
Aside from that, government office operations are closed in observance. Years before, prominent people delivering speeches are common, but not until the present time, which seldom occurs during the electoral campaigns.
Behind the ‘Black Friday’ shenanigans, Labor Day is another chance for the shopping frenzies to take advantage of the relatively huge discounts offered by retail stores, shopping malls and factory outlets. Businessmen are always looking forward to it ensuring that the net worth of their earnings go up in this day. Ironically speaking, for those who work under this industry do not feel the ambiance of the Labor Day because they are required to report for work and do their routine job, even obliged to work overtime just to finish their job.
Nevertheless, Labor Day offers its significance to the working class and at the same time, an opportunity for every family to unite and bond on this meaningful day or even for the entire Labor Day Weekend.
