Was "LaborERS Day" never considered?

Labor Day has been celebrated on the first Monday in September in the United States since the 1880s. The form that the observance and celebration of Labor Day should take were outlined in the first proposal of the holiday — a street parade to exhibit to the public "the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor organizations" of the community, followed by a festival for the recreation and amusement of the workers and their families. This became the pattern for the celebrations of Labor Day. Speeches by prominent men and women were introduced later, as more emphasis was placed upon the economic and civic significance of the holiday. Still later, by a resolution of the American Federation of Labor convention of 1909, the Sunday preceding Labor Day was adopted as Labor Sunday and dedicated to the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement.

As for me, I will be at the US Open. As is traditional... I need a break from all the spiritual and educational aspects of the labor movement I spent studying yesterday for Labor Sunday. What did I learn, Peeps.... well, world wide, Labor Day is celebrated on May 1st. A date that began in the US in the late 1870s when folks joined together to protest the 10 hour work day inspiring a swift and violent response from the government to shut them up! A was the norm, people were beaten and hanged for their silly fairness notions and to keep the whole violent nature of the governmental response hush-hush, the US Gov't decided to allow parades and such in September because by September, all that May Day violence would be forgotten!

Ironically, “May Day”, founded by U.S. workers, was taken away from them as a day to celebrate by a federal government fearful of the wave of large demonstrations for the eight-hour day and massive strikes for justice on the railroads, in the mines and factories that had begun in1877. Such an action may seem quaint now.

But the symbolism of May Day—working people challenging corporate power—

still causes fear among the top elite.
Just ask George W. Bush and the Republican extremists in Congress.
In 2003, Bush proclaimed May 1 as Loyalty Day... " when U.S. citizens should
express allegiance to our nation and its founding ideals, we resolve to ensure that the blessings of liberty endure and extend for generations to come."

Wiki-Wehrung strikes again! (not like the laborers did... I don't even work 8 hour days. I like the extremes of 3 or 24 hour days! Holy Bill Joel! Why do I always go to extremes?)

Anyway... Happy, Happy!
