Labor Day is the one of the two pointless Federal Holidays we observe in the United States, the other one being Columbus Day. Labor Day was first observed in 1882 by a Union in New York and became a Federal holiday in 1894. The whole holiday started out as Mafioso Unions pointing blame to the Armed Forces and US Marshals for the deaths of workers during the Pullman Strike.
Labor Unions are disgusting bastions of Socialism and even Marxism. What better way to celebrate no-show and do-nothing jobs than to have a legislated day off work with pay? Add sitting in a lawn chair, drinking beer all day and "supervising" others and you've got the full Union experience. Labor Day should be eradicated as a holiday.
Much like other far more serious and important holidays like Memorial Day and Independence Day, Labor Day to many is simply the end of the summer, the beginning of college football and the NFL or maybe a symbolic final day of fun before they go back to school. Very few people have any idea that the history of this day is an unscrupulous one and people today are now finally stumbling upon the fact that Unions are evil organizations who do far more harm than good.
Here in Philadelphia, the Unions pull the strings of the politicians. John Dougherty runs the whole show at City Hall and even the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Daily News. When one speaks out against how Unions get their way through lining the pockets of politicians, one is threatened with physical violence. Union reps even recently beat down non-union workers with baseball bats during construction of a new Toys R Us in King of Prussia.
Thankfully, there are people in this world who, for lack of a phrase with more decorum, have giant testicular fortitude. Governor Chris Christie, across the river in New Jersey, is one of these people who stand up to Unions - Teachers Unions in particular - and want to rid the world of the facade that these are people who look out for employee safety and better work environments. Besides, with so many other laws and a free-market capitalistic and sensible view, why would you even need Unions any more?
