In the coming days, we plan to introduce a resolution to recognize Labor Day 2024, and the historical contributions of those who campaigned for workers' rights and participated in the early labor movement. The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on September 5, 1882, in New York City, and subsequently recognized as a federal holiday by President Grover Cleveland in 1894.

Labor Day remains a significant occasion that recognizes and celebrates the hard work, dedication, and invaluable contributions of workers across our nation. Workers have played a pivotal role in the development, progress, and prosperity of our society, contributing to economic growth, innovation, and the overall well-being of our communities.

The accomplishments and achievements of workers from diverse industries and sectors deserve recognition, as they have shaped the fabric of our nation and helped establish a foundation for a brighter future. It is essential to express gratitude and appreciation for the commitment and resilience demonstrated by workers, particularly during challenging times when their efforts have been vital in ensuring the stability and continuity of essential services.

Please join us in co-sponsoring this resolution.
