About Labor Day
Labor Day honors American workers and the labor movement that won the eight-hour day and the weekend. The first celebration was a parade organized by unions in New York City on September 5, 1882, when thousands of workers took an unpaid day off to march. Oregon made it a state holiday in 1887, and Congress made it a federal one in 1894, just after a bitter national railroad strike.
For many families the long weekend is the last trip of the summer: one more weekend at the beach or the lake, a final cookout, then back to school the next day or soon after. College football kicks off around the same time, and community pools tend to close for the season.
