Reposting this because Labor Day rolls around every year, but somehow we forget what we're actually celebrating. 😬🫣🤷🏾♀️ Yeah I'm sure some stuff was wrong but hey.. I tried!!
Labor Day isn't just cookouts, sales, and the unofficial end of summer. The history behind this holiday is about workers fighting for better wages, safer working conditions, shorter hours, the right to organize, and protections for children.
There were strikes, violence, strikebreakers, Pinkertons, and even federal troops (surprise 🙄) involved in the fight.
So today, while we enjoy the long weekend, let's remember the people this holiday is actually about:
THE WORKERS.
A lot of the rights we have today weren't handed to workers. They were fought for. And some died for...
Happy Labor Day 2026!
And if you're working today like me? I'm sorry.
Apparently our bills didn't get the memo. 🤣🇺🇸
