Labor Day weekend is virtually upon us and while it’s not the “Mother of All Holidays” (that is obviously Thanksgiving), it is still a pretty good one as we celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. Labor Day has its origins in the labor union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest – seems about fair, although personally I continue to question the eight hours for work part.
