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.

Boasting Samsung's Neo QLED technology and supporting HDMI 2.1 for some 4K action at 120Hz, it's a quality panel for enjoying the latest consoles or a high-end PC. 65-inch isn't something you'd want to use on a desk, but if you want to game in your lounge, this is the way to do it. While it'd be great if we could all run our games at 4K, the reality is that you need some serious hardware to make that dream a reality. The CPU is getting on a bit, and 8GB of RAM isn't a lot, but it'll handle plenty of modern games without issue. Acer makes plenty of quality gaming monitors, and this speedy 1080p model is a great example. The Alder Lake intel chip you'll find inside this vibrant rig will keep that card happily fed and can handle more serious work too. 16GB of RAM is solid for most games, and while you only get a 512GB SSD, there's a 1TB HDD present as well. It's a shame it only comes with 8GB of RAM, so you'll want to upgrade down the line, but otherwise, this isn't a bad deal at all.

Henry Maier Festival ParkMilwaukee, Wisconsin 1:37 P.M. CDT THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Milwaukee! (Applause.) My name is Joe.

(Applause.) (Applause.) Okay? (Applause.) We’re the United States of America. (Applause.) No, no. (Applause.) This was an attack on American democracy and all we stand for. (Applause.) That’s a fact. (Laughter.) But guess what? (Applause.) No, I really mean it. (Applause.) Oh, he is. (Laughter.) More corporations are incorporated in Delaware than every other nation — every other state in the country combined. (Applause.) Where is she? (Applause.)

On Labor Day in Philly, unions celebrated with a parade but warned ... (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

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

“It’s a big Democratic region and they say vote for your job,” he said, “but a lot of people are going to think about the inflation costs, the fuel prices. 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.
