Labor Day And No Rest For You.

Coming up this weekend is a cherished American Holiday, Labor Day.
This holiday was created in the late nineteenth century to honor working men and women.  During the eighteenth century many labor unions had formed based in trades such as carpentry, iron work and teamsters. As these unions grew they joined forces in order to present a united voice seeking better pay and working conditions for their members.

Simultaneously various municipalities set aside an individual day to recognize working people. Soon a national movement resulted and by 1885 a national movement for Labor Day emerged. This movement resulted in Labor Day being observed nationally on the first Monday of September making a three day weekend for some workers.

Celebrated as it is Labor Day is also unofficially recognized as the ' end of summer.'  Most students by this upcoming weekend have been hard at work on their term and welcome this upcoming three day weekend.

Since you too probably are by now totally immersed in school work you will probably be fully involved studying over this three day weekend. So, study on. There will be time for holidaying soon enough.
