I have never once in my life heard the term “St. Joseph the Worker”

there is a ‘St Joseph the CARPENTER’

The feast of St. Joseph “The Worker” takes place on May 1, and was begun in 1955 by Pius XII as a contradiction of the Marxist “May Day” celebrations of workers laboring under the iron fist of communism.

In other words, it’s the same St. Joseph, but even though he was specifically a carpenter, he demonstrated the sanctity of work within the will of God, and so is a role model for all who labor in any way for the sake of good.

There is another feast of St. Joseph in the Catholic calendar—”St. Joseph the Worker,” on May 1st. But today is not that feast.
