🇺🇸 A little Labor Day history matters.
Labor Day exists to honor American workers and the labor movement that fought for better wages, safer workplaces, reasonable working hours, and something incredibly important: time away from work.
It became a federal holiday in 1894.
So when we hear complaints that America has “too many non-working holidays,” it’s worth remembering why some of these days exist in the first place.
Workers are not simply an expense on a balance sheet. They are the people who built this country, keep our businesses running, care for our families, teach our children, build our communities, and drive our economy.
A day set aside to recognize their contribution isn’t wasted productivity.
It’s recognition. 🇺🇸
