What is LABOR DAY? Labor Day is the first Monday in September, in some areas it was before students went back to school for the FALL, & WINTER days of education, but a lot of things edited that in areas around the country. Labor Day was created by the LABOR movement, dedicated to the economic and social achievements of American workers. It is a celebration of the contributions workers have made for the strength, prosperity and well-being of the nation. From KINGS IN THE MORNING, Happy Labor Day To ALL!
