LABOR DAY

Or "Labour Day" as it is called in Canada.



This is with well-behaved workers. The ants, if you please.




"Labor Day in the United States is a holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is a celebration of the American labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.
 





"Labor Day was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, who organized the first parade in New York City. After the Haymarket Massacre, which occurred in Chicago on May 4, 1886, U.S. President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the affair. Thus, in 1887, it was established as an official holiday in September to support the Labor Day that the Knights favored.
 




"The equivalent holiday in Canada, Labour Day, is also celebrated on the first Monday of September. In many other countries (more than 80 worldwide), 'Labour Day' is synonymous with, or linked with, International Workers' Day, which occurs on May 1."   ~ from Wiki

This is how the Russians do it:














Labor Day is annually held on the first Monday of September. It was originally organized to celebrate various labor associations' strengths and contributions to the United States economy. It is largely a day of rest in modern times. Many people mark Labor Day as the end of the summer season and a last chance to make trips or hold outdoor events.
 

It started off with good intentions but the commies and socialists soon got their hands on it.

I don't think many of them watched this video until the end. A moral is illustrated here. I will be surprised if a few readers make it this far.
