Happy Labor Day to all those Languishites out there whose cervices are increasingly dilating prior to delivery. Remember to breathe and puuuuuush.
I will be celebrating by... working. <_< At least I get holiday pay.

My boss' assistant booked a global meeting today completely not knowing it was an American holiday. As a result we can't use video conferencing and instead must do it via skype- meaning I can do it from home.
Hurray labor day. It may not be on actual labour day (too communist associated I guess) but yay.

The Haymarket Square Riot (which had started with May Day Protests) was still a fresh memory when our Labor Day was set. The government wanted to discourage protests like the one that led up to Haymarket Square and several labor unions didn't want to be associated with bomb throwing anarchists for some reason.
Canadian Labour Day is the same day as US Labor Day. Our labor movements were (more or less) the same; and a September holiday had been proposed a few times earlier. I don't know when they set it. (Edit: US was in the aftermath of the Pullman Strike (1894)).
