Our grandparents, and great-grandparents fought and risked their lives for the working conditions we enjoy today; the 8-hour day; child labor laws; health and safety laws; and safe working conditions. According to the Department of Labor website,
“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.”
