Tomorrow marks the last holiday of summer in the USA.
Unfortunately not everyone will have the day off. For those of us who do - we will celebrate the last hurrah of the season.
Labor Day officially became a federal holiday in 1894 although the first time it was celebrated was in 1882.
As American workers we can thank the labor unions who fought for the right to a 40 hr. work week with vacation and paid benefits. It cost many their livelihood and even their lives. Because they cared I get to enjoy the legacy they left behind. I am grateful. Will be remembering them tomorrow - hope those of you who enjoy the day off will remember them as well.
Have a blessed week.
Hugs
Debbie
