I don't mean at all to be a killjoy here, and mean even less to suggest that the holiday be abolished, but I can't help thinking that Labor Day -- in its origins no better than a kind of blue-collar Kwanzaa -- ought to be regarded with a dash of skepticism.

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't know if this is the proper source. The Wall Street Journal editorializing about labor day being a thing of the past, is kinda like Bill Clinton giving a lecture on the death of infidelity laws.

A) Are you saying the the Journal is in any way corrupt?

B) The journal is exactly the right publication to proclaim the death of Unions. Forbes is "the capitalist tool." The Journal is "the daily diary of the American drea." Unions served their purpose. They are now an unseen impediment to progress for lower middle class Americans.
