THE LABOR BEHIND THIS DAY!
This is Labor Day, first celebrated in 1882
when thousands of union workers in New
York City staged their own parade to honor
the working man and woman. The idea caught
on with local unions across the country who
began to hold their own parades and celebrations/
It became a Federal holiday in 1892. It's ceelebrated
in many other countries under various names. Canada
shares the name and date with the United States. It
recognizes the efforts of organized labor to improve
working conditions. Efforts that led to the 8 hour day
and 5 day week, In some ways, of course, it can be
a sort of sad day as Labor Day is considered by many
to be the unofficial end to summer. And that's not all!
It is also the unofficial end to the Hot Dog Season!
You see between Memorial Day and Labor Day
Americans consume as estimaed 7 Billion hot dogs!
Then, sales fall off drastically! So throw an extra
dog on the grill today to celebrate labor and extend
the season! Hope you're not working today, that you're
well, and that all your NEWS is good.
