What is Labor Day to You?

[JOSweetHeart]

My oldest child and my youngest child were both born on Labor Day. Ask my wife what Labor Day means.

How many years apart are they and what are their actual birthdays since Labor Day falls on different days in early September from year to year.

God bless you and your family always!!!

Is it just a generic holiday?

Do you "celebrate" organized labor and what it has (arguably) done to benefit all workers in the U.S.?

Do you shun the holiday as celebrating an institution that has proven to be equally good and bad?

Do you think of it as celebrating all working Americans, or just unionized workers (and retirees)?

The day the rich get off, and the day the poor get to work.....

I must be rich, I get the day off.

Good day to catch up.

Another day in the Hood but with more alcohol.

I’ve never heard anyone say Labor Day was just for union workers. It’s for anyone who has worked in this country.

Just another day, like all the others.

I thought it was the day when all pregnant ladies started to give birth.

Labor Day means the end of my summer job...

 

[Carl in Michigan]

A day off, and the "official end of summer."

From a labor perspective, I celebrate every two weeks when I receive my employee appreciation certificate in my bank account.

September 1st is the beginning of Meteorological Fall.

I don’t place much stock in Labor Day. It is just a made up excuse to pacify unions and union members. And, despite being a conservative Republican, I like the old basis for the legal existence of Unions.

Some companies and some bosses were (and even with unions, some companies and bosses still are) abusive to their employees. A union is a collective tool of and for workers to protect the members from employer’ overreaching.

That said, Unions by and large seem to have forgotten their original purposes for existing. They can negotiate with a company for higher wages for the employees, but in the process they have been know to kill the golden goose.

Before I retired, I enjoyed the holiday just fine. Now that I am retired, it holds little meaning anymore.

Just a work day for me, but without the traffic.

It's actually quite nice.

In fact, y'all take another day...
