The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 16 proposes to officially recognize May 1 of each year as St. Joseph the Worker Day in Wisconsin. This resolution highlights the significance of St. Joseph, as described by Pope Francis and other historical figures, emphasizing his role as a loving and hardworking father, protector of the Holy Family, and a model for all workers. The resolution draws parallels between St. Joseph's dedication to his family and the commitment of working men and women in Wisconsin, acknowledging their contributions to families, communities, and the state.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the state to observe this day with appropriate celebrations that honor the dignity of all workers. It aims to foster appreciation for the hard work and sacrifices made by individuals who contribute to the well-being of their families and society. By designating May 1 as St. Joseph the Worker Day, the Wisconsin Legislature seeks to promote a sense of respect and recognition for the labor force in the state.
