History

Historical Context

Labor Day, established as a federal holiday in 1894, emerged from the labor movement's push for workers' rights, notably supported by the American Federation of Labor, which represented over 1 million workers. Following the Pullman Strike, Congress recognized the first Monday in September as Labor Day, reflecting the ongoing significance of labor movements in shaping American culture and work-life balance.
