Labor Day is always on the first Monday in September to celebrate the workers who give to the economy and society. So how and why did Labor Day start? A few states began to celebrate Labor Day in 1882, but it was not made a federal holiday until 18
94. Some workers had been killed during the labor movement, so President Grover Cleveland rushed the proposal through the Senate and the House of Representatives. In September of 1894, the first Labor Day was celebrated as a national holiday. The proposal said that there should be a street parade to show people the strength of the labor and trade groups, and then people should have a feast with workers and their families. Now we get together with our friends and families and have barbecues and parties. How do you celebrate Labor Day?
