Labor's Great Day Origin and Significance in U S History
The piece traces Labor Day's origins to 1882 in New York City when Knights of Labor proposed a nationwide parade on the first Monday in September. It notes Labor Day became a legal holiday in 1894 and contrasts American observance with European May Day, emphasizing parade speeches and education on labor issues. It then surveys the rise of U S labor organizations from the early 1800s to state laws protecting workers, the 8 to 10 hour days, and the move toward unity among unions including the AFL affiliates and Knights of Labor, with references to significant leaders and early labor actions.
