MG Pharmacy: Happy Labor Day!

9/1/2014

0 Comments

 
Labor Day, according to the US Department Of Labor, is a day dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American Workers. It's a celebration of all of the hard work that has contributed to this country's strength, prosperity and well being. 

There is some difference of opinion as to who it was that actually began this holiday. Some say it was a gentleman by the name of Matthew Macguire from New York in 1882 and others attribute the idea to a Peter McGuire, then American Federation of Labor employee, also in 1882. 

The celebrations began on the state level. Oregon was the first to officially acknowledge it as a state holiday on Feb 21st, 1887.  About 30 more states were to follow in Oregon's footsteps. Shortly thereafter, Congress was willing to create legislation that made it a legal holiday, nation wide. 

On June 28th, 1894, the bill to make Labor Day a national holiday, was passed.
