Why Do We Celebrate Labor Day?

4 weeks of vacation for all Ibi Marketing employees. Half day on Fridays. Yes, we have awesome benefits for our employees. If you are interested in becoming a sales representative or Marketing Manager don’t hesitate to contact us https://ibimarketing.com/contact-us.

I feel this is a day to celebrate ALL human beings who positively contribute to our society the best they can. It usually takes an economic depression, worldwide pandemic, war, or personal injury to truly appreciate a good day’s work. At Ibi Marketing we take pride in our hard work which reflects in our client’s success. Individuals that are giving their best efforts to make this world a better place, they should be commended

Labor Day, the first Monday in September, 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.

More than a century after the first Labor Day observance, there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers. The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. The Central Labor Union held its second Labor Day holiday just a year later, on September 5, 1883.

In 1884 the first Monday in September was selected as the holiday, as originally proposed, and the Central Labor Union urged similar organizations in other cities to follow the example of New York and celebrate a "workingmen's holiday" on that date.
