The first Labor Day was celebrated on a grey Tuesday in 1882. It was the work
of a New York City Labor Union flexing its muscles and
sticking it to the man.
Similar celebrations occur all over the world but in the form of
pre-summer
May Day celebrations, but here in the US of A,
the Man was anxious to not
allow this sort of nonsense to blossom into full scale riots, so he
usurped the holiday and created a national
Labor Day holiday. You can
read a dry rendition written by
the Man himself on the
Department of Labor (thanks to Hank for the new link!!) website, but what you should really check out is this next Loony Labor Day feature, a
1949 Studebaker built on S10 chassis
currently bidding for $8,078 reserve-not-met on eBay, located in Upton, MA with a few hours to go.
