History

Historical Context

The Central Labor Union and Knights of Labor staged New York’s first Labor Day parade on September 5, 1882; Oregon made the holiday official in 1887 and by 1894 thirty states celebrated it, prompting President Grover Cleveland to sign the federal law on June 28, 1894. Today REI marks that legacy with a 2026 Labor Day sale, echoing the original push for workers’ recognition.
