劳动节 英文
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五一劳动节的由来， prosperity， and well-being of our country.
Founder of Labor Day
More than 100 years after the first Labor Day observance， there is still some doubt as to who first proposed the holiday for workers.
Some records show that Peter J. McGuire， general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a cofounder of the American Federation of Labor， was first in suggesting a day to honor those "who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold."
But Peter McGuire"s place in Labor Day history has not gone unchallenged. Many believe that Matthew Maguire， a machinist， not Peter McGuire， founded the holiday. Recent research seems to support the contention that Matthew Maguire， later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson， N.J.， proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York. What is clear is that the Central Labor Union adopted a Labor Day proposal and appointed a committee to plan a demonstration and picnic.
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 52008年劳动节放假， 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. The idea spread with the growth of labor organizations， and in 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.
Labor’s Day is on May 1st. Labor’s Day is an international day for workers. Working is glorious， and we should respect workers. The Labor’s Day is workers’ holiday and workers can enjoy themselves to their heart’s content. Many people choose to travel. And some others will go to the cinema. Some will go to parks. And others will stay at home.
