Labor Day is a watered down American version of May Day.
In 1898, Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, called it “the day for which the toilers in past centuries looked forward, when their rights and their wrongs would be discussed…that the workers of our day may not only lay down their tools of labor for a holiday, but upon which they may touch shoulders in marching phalanx and feel the stronger for it.”
But according to the Encyclopedia of the American Left, Gompers and the American Federation of Labor elevated Labor Day as the preferred holiday of the American House of Labor over May Day. He criticized May Day for its ties to anarchists and socialist politics.
I’m taking the day off, but just check out this mailer a dark money group is using to attack Madinah:
