But...do you know why we have the holiday? Click here for some background info on the holiday if you are interested.
In a nutshell, according to the U.S. Department of Labor: "Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."
So, next year while you are enjoying that hot dog and chatting with your friends, remember the tenacity of the people who got us here! Think about how you could use them as inspiration for change you want to make!
