Most people think of Labor Day as a nice, relaxing long weekend. Others view it as the beginning of fall or the start of football season. However, the last holiday of summer is more than a day off work. It is a controversial American holiday started by unionized laborers who wanted better working conditions. Some of these laborers even died for this labor movement in late 1800s.
So let's give thanks to those workers and this movement for improving the quality of life of so many Americans!

Labor was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all
things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labor, that all wealth of the
world was originally purchased. ~Adam Smith
Enjoy your weekend!
