It’s Good to Know: The Hard Work Behind Labor Day

By ETR

It’s historically uncertain whether it was Peter McGuire of the American Federation of Labor or Matthew Maguire of the Central Labor Union who founded Labor Day (which Congress made a federal holiday in 1894). Probably makes no difference to you. However, in recognition of the day, here are a few facts to help you appreciate the labor you do – and how far we’ve come.

  • 12-hour workdays, 7 days a week, were standard in America in the 1800s – and even children worked.
  • The National Labor Union began fighting for an 8-hour workday in 1866.
  • In 1938, the Fair Labor Standards Act set a minimum hourly wage of 25 cents.

Testimonials

Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head

“Just had to say that Rich Schefren has really hit the nail on the head about the media and so called ‘journalism’ in his article ‘How to Make More Money During a Recession.’

“Absolutely brilliant and spot on. They have to fill so many newspaper/magazine pages and so much TV airtime that any ‘news’ item is completely overexposed and hyped up. (Swine flu is a good example.) It also seems that many journalists really don’t know much about the subjects they are writing about. Fortunately, the same cannot be said about Early to Rise.

“Keep up the good work.”
