Labor Day Observances and Shifts Across Texas Towns
The Knights of Labor and public agencies shaped Labor Day as a national holiday with a six day work week era shifting to a one day rest. In Lubbock Jaycees host a noon to 9 pm rest stop while Texas Tech schools observe the holiday and postal services operate on holiday schedules. Federal workers gain a longer weekend with Columbus Day to follow.
