Labor Day Holiday, the 1st Monday in
September, is a creation from 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.
Labor Day Legislation History
Through the years the nation gave increasing
emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through
municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement
developed to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into
the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on
February 21, 1887. During the year four more states — Colorado, Massachusetts,
New Jersey, and New York — created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment.
By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed
suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and
on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in
September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the
territories.
