Labor Day Quotes and Sayings by Famous People

Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will be going back to school the next day. It would have been called Independence Day, but that name was already taken.–Bill Dodds

Nonbureaucratic, participative, solidarity-driven, noncommercial, arty. With all those manifest virtues, you have to wonder why a setup like this can't seem to last any longer
than a Labor Day weekend.–Bruce Sterling

Workingmen are at the foundation of society.
Show me that product of human endeavor in the making of which the workingman has had no share, and I will show you something that society can well dispense with.–Samuel Gompers

Labor was the Ŭrst price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things.
It was not by gold or by silver, but by labor, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.–Adam Smith

Manual labor to my father was not only good and decent for it's own sake but,
as he was given to saying, it straightened out one's thoughts.–Mary Ellen Chase

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Labor Day History


Some countries spell it Labor day, while others spell it Labour day

The holiday originated in Canada out of labor disputes ("Nine-Hour Movement") first in Hamilton, then in Toronto, Canada in the 1870s, which resulted in a Trade Union Act which legalized and protected union activity in 1872 in Canada. The parades held in support of the Nine-Hour Movement and the printers' strike led to an annual celebration in Canada. In 1882, American labor leader Peter J. McGuire witnessed one of these labor festivals in Toronto. Inspired from Canadian events in Toronto, he returned the USA, to New York and organized the first American "labor day" on September 5 of the same year.

Most countries celebrate Labour Day on May 1, known as May Day and International Workers' Day.

Bermuda, Canada and the United States celebrate labour day on the first Monday of September.

In some Caribbean nations, a labour holiday is provided on the first Monday of May. In Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory follow this policy.
