Labor Day Facts

United States will be having it’s federal holiday for the Labor Day this September 6, 2010. Labor Day is observed on every first Monday in September.

In the US the very first Labor Day was celebrated on September 5, 1882 . This federal holiday became official in 1894, when, following U.S. Marshals during the Pullman Strike, President Grover Cleveland put reconciliation with the labor movement as a top political priority and the deaths of a number of workers at the hands of the U.S. military.

After graduating she worked as the Administrative Coordinator for the Greensboro Hope Project, a youth gang prevention initiative and served as a volunteer counselor for the Women's Resource Center of Greensboro.
