Do you know the history of Labor Day?

by with No Comment Human ResourcesPersonal InterestRecruitment AdvertisingSCG NewsUncategorized

labor dayDo you know why Labor Day is a national holiday, recognized nationwide? If your answer is no – you will now be informed. If your answer is yes – keep reading anyway!

 

During America’s Industrial Revolution (latter half of the 1800’s) the unbearable working conditions eventually led to an uproar – between employers and employees. Worker unions were created and served as the primary catalyst for establishing a political backbone. They organized rallies and strikes that were essential in trying to establish a positive outcome for laborers. Some of these rallies and strikes turned violent, unfortunately leaving casualties. Yet, a trailblazing event took place on September 5, 1882 (which is nationally recognized as the first Labor Day parade). On this day, thousands of activists marched in New York City – from City Hall through Union Square, all knowing they were not going to be paid for this time off. Concerts, picnics and speeches occurred on this day as well.

 

During this time two members of different unions received credited for coining this idea/day. The two men have closely structured last names, but are not related. Matthew Maguire (Secretary of the Central Labor Union) and Peter McGuire (American Federation of Labor co-founder). 

 

Matthew Maguire initiated the type of strikes aimed toward exposing unsafe factory conditions and employee hours in the 1870’s. Matthew’s outspoken political views were deemed outstretched for the time frame and therefore were responsible for his demotion as Labor Day’s founding father.

 

 

Peter McGuire is depicted as advocating this idea/day/parade concept in front of New York Central Labor Union, on May 12, 1882. Peter’s initiated strikes brought change and evolution to work hours – the standard eight hour workday, still withstanding today!

 

The year of 1894 manifested approval by congress and thereby President Grover Cleveland announced a national holiday to occur every first Monday of September, now known as Labor Day.

 

So now that you’re informed about history of this day, do not come in to work on Monday! Enjoy your day off!
