There are a handful of national holidays with a meaning and symbolism equal to that of Labor Day. The team of Fine Art Shippers congratulates all our clients and long-term partners on this holiday and wishes all of you to have a great day of leisure and rest with your family and friends. Labor Day 2024, which is on September 2, offers another great opportunity for everyone to reflect on the role of hard work in the American people’s success and prosperity.
What Is Labor Day About?
The holiday that we celebrate on the first Monday of fall has more than a century of history, as it was first celebrated in 1882 and became a national holiday in 1894. This step was a result of relentless labor union work in the USA, headed by the Central Labor Union (CLU) in New York, fighting for the recognition of workers’ rights and improvements of their wages and safety standards in the workplace. Labor Day represents an important part of the US history and evolution as a modern nation, prioritizing people’s safety and paying tribute to the contribution of the worker population to the advancement of manufacturing, economy, engineering, mining, and other sectors.
