Good day, everyone!
This week we will welcome the Labor Day holiday. TAIMES have holiday from 30th-1st May.
Here I'm very glad to share with you the history of Labor Day.
Labor Day, the first day of May, is a creation of the labor movement and
is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It
constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the
strength,prosperity, and well-being of our country.
Founder of Labor Day

More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt
as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor, was
first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved
all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire"s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many
But Peter McGuire"s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many
believe that Matthew Maguire, a machinist, not Peter McGuire, founded the holiday.
Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire, later the
secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson,
N.J., proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor
Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day
proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.
