Labor Day
The history books say it came about when Peter McGuire a carpenter and a union leader suggested that it would be a good idea to give workers a holiday in their honor that will take place between Independence day (4th of July) and Thanks Giving Day (the fourth Thursday in November). The first observance of the holiday took place in New York City in September 5, 1882, which involved a parade from City Hall to Union Square, and afterwards there was a gathering, speech, and a picnic at a park. Oregon was the first state that made it a legal holiday in 1887 and the U.S. Congress passed a law in 1894 to make it a federal holiday and that’s how people in the U.S. and Canada are observing today as a labor day. In Europe May 1, May Day is observed as labor or workers holiday.
