The U.S Congress Makes Labor Day a National Holiday: 1894

Posted OnJanuary 23, 2020 byadmin

In the 1890s, states across the Union began to recognize the Labor Day holiday. By 1894, 23 states had adopted the Labor Day holiday in recognition of workers. After years of lobbying from P.J. McGuire, on June 28th of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September each year a national holiday in the United States.
