)(^ Labor Day in United States,,
)(^ Labor Day in United States,, Labor Day is annually held on the first Monday of September. It was originally organized to celebrate various labor associations' strengths of and contributions to the United States economy. It is largely a day of rest in modern times. Many people mark Labor Day as the end of the summer season and a last chance to make<b> trips </font></b>or hold outdoor events. The first Labor Day was held in 1882. Its origins stem from the desire of the Central Labor Union to create a holiday for workers. It became a federal holiday in 1894. It was originally intended that the day would be filled with a street parade to allow the public to appreciate the work of the trade and labor organizations. After the parade, a festival was to be held to amuse local workers and their families. In later years, prominent men and women held speeches. This is less common now, but is sometimes seen in election years. One of the reasons for choosing to celebrate this on the first Monday in September was to add a holiday in the long gap between Independence Day and Thanksgiving. If you celebrate Labor Day, do you have any special traditions? Is it just the end of summer and one last day off? Or , as was always our tradition, it was in fact a day of labor, getting caught up on work outside? |

Our Labour Day takes place in early May. It's a bank holiday, that is, a public holiday. Banks were the first employers to give their staff days off work which is why our public holidays are called bank holidays.
