LABOR DAY!

LABOR DAY


As we all enjoy our day off in observance of Labor Day, lets all stop and remember why Labor Day is such an important day on our calendar. Given time has moved on, decades have come and gone, and life events have changed drastically; once upon a time, Labor Day was a movement that was celebrated and observed by those whom fought for it.

WORKING CONDITIONS PRIOR TO LABOR DAY- 

    "In the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, the average American worked 12-hour days and seven-day weeks in order to eke out a basic living. Despite restrictions in some states, children as young as 5 or 6 toiled in mills, factories and mines across the country, earning a fraction of their adult counterparts’ wages. People of all ages, particularly the very poor and recent immigrants, often faced extremely unsafe working conditions, with insufficient access to fresh air, sanitary facilities and breaks".
