We also celebrate May Day in the US and Canada, but it is not an "official" day off. Agree about the more socialistic perspective. But, that comes up with Labor/Labour Day too, so... maybe we just needed a civic holiday off at the end of the summer, rather than another one in the same month as Victoria Day in Canada and Memorial Day in the US!
Interesting history lesson on Labor Day. I think most people just look at it as an extra day off, including myself 😊 if I worked in an industry where I had the day off. But I do appreciate the holiday pay 😁.
Thank you for this. I have very fond memories of every Labor Day I spent in the US. Usually a long weekend away. But I never thought about why it is in September. Now I know. I love learning new things.
