Did you know…?
The first Monday of September is Labor Day in the US and Canada. The holiday originated with parades and celebrations of workers and unions in the 1880s, as the working class began to reclaim their power by organizing for living wages and safe working conditions, neither of which were available to them. Employers, the robber barons of the Gilded Age, responded with anti-union measures, such as firing and blacklisting union members, locking out workers, recruiting strikebreakers, exacerbating ethnic tensions in order to divide the workers, and infiltrating unions with spies and thugs to incite violence and turn public opinion against the workers. One of the initial objectives of the labor movement in the US was the eight-hour workday.
The first Labor Day Parade in the US took place on September 5, 1882 in New York City.
May 1 had emerged as International Workers Day after the AFL passed a resolution calling for adoption of the eight-hour day effective on that day in 1886 and advocating nationwide general strikes to achieve it. Centered in Chicago, the strikes lasted for days and turned violent, culminating in the Haymarket Affair, when police violence was met with detonation of a homemade explosive device. Seven policemen and four workers were killed in an exchange of gunfire, though it’s unclear who shot whom, as it was widely reported that police opened fire first. A group of anarchists were later tried and hanged for the bombing, and employers used the public backlash against the Haymarket event to break the strike and revert to the typical 10-12-hour workdays. Subsequent May Day observances memorialized the blood that was shed in the quest for workers’ rights.
One early anthem of the labor movement was “Eight Hours” by I.G. Blanchard.
It is the source of the slogan: “Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, eight hours for what we will.”
As early as 1882, the AFL and Central Labor Union of New York proposed the establishment of a “general holiday for the laboring classes.” Over the course of the decade, there was agreement about the need for a celebration of labor, but disagreement about the date. International Workers Day seemed a natural fit, but others advocated for the first Monday in September due to its ideal weather for picnics and its position on the calendar, midway between Independence Day and Thanksgiving. The pro-September voices were concerned that May 1 was too politically charged. President Grover Cleveland was among the “parade and picnic” crowd, and he formally adopted the date as a federal holiday through a law that he signed in 1894. So as you enjoy your day off today to enjoy volleyball and whatever else you do, take a moment and thank the labor movement.
