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.
By 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday, and on June 28, 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a law designating the first Monday in September each year as a national holiday.
The holiday season is here. For the public, it’s a time of anticipation. For us, it’s a test of endurance.
While kids and families across the country eagerly await their gifts and the holiday magic that comes with it, we know that magic takes a lot of our hard work.
We are the engine room of the holidays. This year, we want to ensure that the public understands the effort we put into making the holidays happen.
Please pick up your phone and share a little bit about your peak season.
We want to flood social media with our stories and share with the public what it takes to make the magic happen.
Whatever you do at the post office, your labor makes this season possible. Will you share your story?
