Because we aren’t commies.
OMG, I didn’t know that!!!!
/S...just in case.
And the unnamed “Labor Day Hurricane” (1935) would lose its point of reference.

Because thats the commie worker day.
Exactly!
That’s right!
And another reason is that the government made a deal with the mob to let them have the Unions, to keep the Commies out.
Labor Day is a time to be off work for a day and spend it with your family. It’s part of this, and for these reasons alone it is perfectly placed and appreciated:
Memorial Day (BBQ), Independence Day(BBQ), Labor Day(BBQ), Thanksgiving (Turkey), Christmas (Rib Roast), Easter (Ham)
Tell me the difference between organized labor unions and extortion.
Ya pushing Marxism now? :)
No, thanks.
I’m proud to go to work on May 1. I want all the world to know that in this country we definitely DO NOT celebrate commie day.
Hey! Don't forget Juneteenth! (Fried ch.....nevermind).
Because we are not a Communist totalitarian state, at least not yet.
“And another reason is that the government made a deal with the mob to let them have the Unions, to keep the Commies out.”
Unions are communistic, imo.
Yeah, but they kept the Russian Commies out, and that’s what mattered.
Ours is more like, er, Workers’ Day.
There are plenty of crappy unions out there. But there are plenty of good ones. I’m thankful to be in a good one and work around other good ones. Unions that demand safety and fair wage and practices, and we also hold each other accountable and have and will continue to run off the shitbags that are bad at their job. It’s professionalism.
There are plenty of crappy workers all on their own out there as well. All things being equal, if workers never organized, you can bet your ass that we’d all be working 12 hours days in unsafe environments and low wages. Unions have done a lot of good in the USA, and yes, plenty of bad as well.
After what major unions did to obstruct our national war effort during WW2, I can never have respect for them. Amplified by my 15 years sentence working in Detroit, trying to bring GM and Ford powertrain plants into the 21st century, with the UAW fighting us every step of the way. Abusing our techs, stealing their tools, and even sabotaging our machines. To call them Luddites would be too kind. Not for nothing did GM saleried engineers say the initials stoof for United Against Work. Then there’s my memories of the rampant corruption in the Fairchild Republic plant that made the A-10, back in the ‘70s. Rumor had it that the Air Force curtailed the A-10 program because of it. Those are the highlights. No, unions are just another form of organized crime in my experience, and don’t deserve a holiday. /rant
Ahhhh too bad so sad. The commies don’t like us
