What is Labor Day and why do we celebrate it? - CNN (CNN)

Members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union stand on 5th Avenue during the Labor Day Parade, in New York, New York, on September 6, 1982.

The 1960s "Youthquake" allowed young people to challenge old stylistic norms, including the Labor Day rule. The Knights of Labor were exploring the idea that "what we call the capitalist or industrial system was fundamentally exploitative," he said. For a long time, Freeman says, Americans celebrated both May Day and Labor Day. But there was also a more radical political thread to the Labor Day celebration, Freeman says. White was tied to summer vacations -- a privilege only few could afford. Workers were fighting hard for the eight-hour work day most workers enjoy today. In New York City, two events converged that contributed to the formation of Labor Day, Freeman says. At the beginning, "it was a somewhat daring move to participate, because you could get yourself fired," Freedman said. "It's not really associated with its origins that much." Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York had followed suit by the end of 1887. Additionally, the Knights of Labor, then the largest national labor convention, held a convention in the city, complete with a large parade. At the time Labor Day was formed, unions were fighting for "very specific improvements in their working conditions," Freeman said.

Why do we celebrate Labor Day? So Grover Cleveland could own ... (The Washington Post)

Labor Day and May Day both started in the United States. So how did one spread elsewhere while the other become a federal holiday here? Grover Cleveland.

For that reason, Labor Day was always more popular with lawmakers, and more than 20 states had made it a state holiday by 1894. There were 15 daily newspapers in the city at the time, and their coverage of the event was mostly glowing. There was already a holiday on the first of May with ancient origins — think flower crowns and maypoles — but national labor organizers did not have that in mind in 1884 when they set May 1, 1886, as a deadline for businesses to grant their workers an eight-hour workday. There were even more people and more unions there at the picnic. Others credit Mathew Maguire, also a respected union leader and member of the New York Central Labor Union but with a reputation for radicalism. Some say it was the brainchild of a respected union leader, Peter McGuire, at an 1882 meeting of the New York Central Labor Union.

Nannie Helen Burroughs, trailblazing Black teacher and labor ... (The Washington Post)

For Labor Day, we look at how she forged career paths and jobs for Black girls during the Jim Crow era.

In 1964, the NTS was renamed the Nannie Helen Burroughs School in her honor and was eventually turned into a private elementary school that closed in 2006. Her example reminds us that teachers’ labor is essential to the health and future of the country, supporting young people’s and communities’ everyday needs and aspirations. As she declared, the mission of the NTS was to “prepare the army of colored women breadwinners” to “think and work.” Burroughs developed a stress-induced illness from the hard work of keeping her school and cooperative open during that national financial crisis. She often sacrificed her livelihood, personal comforts, and sometimes her physical health to meet the needs of her students and communities. Du Bois wrote to her: “I was astonished and gratified to note the way in which it gripped and interested the audience. In 1934, she established the Cooperative Industries (initially called the Northeast Self-Help Cooperative) on the NTS campus. Through its medical clinic, broom factory, grocery store, furniture (barrel-chair) manufacturing, and 106-acre farm, the cooperative provided jobs, affordable resources, and business shares for NTS students and over 6,000 Black people. Knowing that Black women could most easily find jobs in household employment, they created a rigorous domestic science curriculum to provide students with the certification enabling them to demand living wages and safe working conditions. Burroughs used her position as corresponding secretary of the Woman’s Convention (WC), the women’s auxiliary group to the National Baptist Convention (NBC), to democratize education by building her own school. Instead, she found smaller donors from the Woman’s Convention, Black educators, White women educators, and other supporters. Through her curriculum and community organizing, she operationalized her philosophy that every young person deserved a quality education that opened access to any profession, living wages, safe and comfortable housing, clean water and nutritious food, and personal enjoyments.

President Joe Biden is beginning his Labor Day celebrations with a trip to one battleground state, Wisconsin, before making his third trip in less than a ...

He said that Biden “hasn’t forgotten that working families matter, not just on Labor Day, but every single day of the year.” Evers was speaking at the labor event Biden addressed and also briefly greeted the president in a backstage photo line. “I come from the corporation state of the world,” Biden said, referring to his decades representing pro-financial business Delaware in the Senate. In the first of two Labor Day events, Biden delivered remarks in Milwaukee on Monday. The Pennsylvania and Wisconsin races could decide which party controls the Senate next year, while the winner of each governorship may influence results in 2024’s presidential election. He attended the 2015 installment as vice president and returned in 2018. Two days after that, Biden went to Independence Hall in Philadelphia for a prime-time address denouncing the “extremism” of Trump’s fiercest supporters. Trump has endorsed candidates in key races around the country and Biden is warning that some Republicans now believe so strongly in Trumpism that they are willing to undermine core American values to promote it. “A future of unity and hope. That’s when control of the House and Senate, as well some of the country’s top governorships, will be decided. Watch the president’s remarks in the player above. The unofficial start of fall, Labor Day also traditionally starts a political busy season where campaigns scramble to excite voters ahead of Election Day on Nov.

At Labor Day parade, leaders rally members to support Shapiro in ... (WHYY)

Union leaders used Monday's Labor Day rally and march to urge their members to vote for Democratic candidate for governor, Josh Shapiro.

“For us to make the union stronger and to keep progressing, I believe we all need to come out and show support.” Griffin became a sheet metal worker three years ago as part of a bridge program meant to help “inner-city children” make it to the union hall. “Right now, we’re in a place that we haven’t been for many, many years,” Eiding said. He said he did well in the program and when it was finished, he was welcomed into the union’s apprenticeship program “with open arms.” “The union is a family,” Griffin said, adding that he appreciates the benefits, which include a “great retirement plan” and ongoing job training. “This governor’s race is the most important race of the labor movement’s history,” said Gary Masino, president and business manager of Local 19, which represents the city’s sheet metal workers.

Parade organizers and union members emphasized the economic and human rights issues on the line in the upcoming November midterm election.

He stressed the importance of unity among the trades, family benefits, and retirement opportunities. “We’re going back to the stone ages,” Lovett-Hall said of restrictions to abortion access. We stand up for women and girls and their rights. Your fathers, your uncles, your forefathers fought for us to have a collective bargaining agreement, the right for a safe place to work. We stand up for voting rights.” Looking at all these people here right now,” she said of the parade, “we’re one.” Mastriano is the archdevil for us.” Her concerns were echoed by others feeling the squeeze of rising costs and stagnant wages. “Racism is at an all-time high,” she said. Before a one-mile promenade down Columbus Boulevard to Penn’s Landing, la leaders and elected officials delivered fiery speeches, drawing applause at the mention of Pennsylvania Lt. But amid the celebration were serious calls to action.

Labor Day: A nod to some of our favorite hard working Penguins (PensBurgh)

It's late on Labor Day, the ceremonial unofficial end of summer. That's good for hockey, with players starting to filter back into town, and before you know ...

Even in juniors, Tyler Kennedy was good and well-regarded, but he didn’t really score that much (22 is his career-high in goals at any level), but for effort you couldn’t measure what the ol’ boy brought to the table. The epitome of a heart and soul player who would gladly lay his well-being on the line to keep the puck out of the net, and succeed in doing so. It’s no secret that Jordan Staal was the “secret sauce” of the Penguins back in that day. Despite being the third line center, Staal also played the third most minutes of any forward in his last few seasons in Pittsburgh. He played across the line of good tastes at times, but always knew that he had to give a maximum effort to make a difference. Between the energy, effort, play away from the puck and then the ability to create, there’s not much better for the parts adding up to be more than the sum with the chemistry created with this line. It’s undisputed that to get to the NHL level, a person has to be very dedicated and work extremely hard for an untold number of hours over the years in order to make it to the very top level. Cooke was a 10-year veteran when he came to Pittsburgh, and ended up being one of the most controversial and hated players of his generation. I can remember that one time at a practice at Southpointe when he led a drill, caught a bad rut and was going so fast that when he wiped out that his legs went into a helicopter like motion as he spun around and crashed down and into the boards. As Jagr himself has willingly pointed out, Gill was the only force strong enough to limit No 68 when he was in his prime and usually winning scoring titles. But I’m still not sure there’s been a better or harder working third line for the result of what fit together with Matt Cooke, Jordan Staal and Tyler Kennedy for the Penguins back in that time. Prior to when Zdeno Chara really emerged as the freak of freaks (meant in a good way), Hal Gill in his day was a 6’7, 245 pound mountain of a player.

Dyson Labor Day Sale: Shop These 6 Great Deals Before They Expire (Forbes)

Dyson's Labor Day Sale is your chance to save up to $200 on some of the brand's most popular vacuums and air purifiers.

This canister model is similar to the Ball Animal 2 above, but it’s on sale for $50 less. This vacuum is the exact same as the V8 Absolute above, but it comes with fewer accessories. As a traditional upright canister vacuum, the Dyson Ball isn’t as convenient to tote around the house as one of the brand’s sleek cordless designs. But what it lacks in portability, it makes up for in power: Dyson says it has the strongest suction of any vacuum it makes. This stick vacuum also has a 40-minute runtime and comes with two cleaner heads and eight tools—including the Hair Screw Tool for removing hair from small space like pet beds or stairs. Vacuuming is a chore, but the right tool can make all the difference.

So Cleveland wanted to both demonstrate his continued support for workers, according to the Post, “while blunting the power of the more radical May Day crowd.” capitalists tensions continued, and in 1892, Cleveland won back the presidency in a “Democratic landslide.” This time, though, business interests were better entrenched, and many of his more pro-labor policies (including an income tax) were struck down by the Supreme Court. With Cleveland’s support, the Democratic Congress passed the new Labor Day bill, and Cleveland signed it on June 28, 1894. Elizabeth Fuller was born and raised in Minneapolis, MN but has lived in LA since 1991 - with deep roots in both the Sycamore Square and West Adams Heights-Sugar Hill neighborhoods. “The gulf between employers and the employed is constantly widening, and classes are rapidly forming, one comprising the very rich and powerful, while in another are found the toiling poor…. By the time it became an official [federal holiday]in 1894, thirty [states in the U.S.]officially celebrated Labor Day.”

As a result of these benefits, TSA PreCheck lanes move faster and more efficiently than regular lanes. “We were also able to continue the deployment of new technologies that facilitate stronger identity verification procedures and enhanced security screening for carry-on bags.” The weekend travel volume represents 102% of volume for the same pre-pandemic holiday weekend in 2019 and is the first time that a holiday weekend passenger screening volume exceeds that of 2019. On average, TSA stopped 17.3 firearms each day at checkpoints since the beginning of the year. If this pace continues, TSA anticipates that firearm catches at checkpoints will eclipse the current full year-record of 5,972 firearms intercepted at the nation’s checkpoints in 2021. About 91.6% of those passengers in standard screening lanes waited less than 15 minutes.
