#OnThisDate September 5, 1882 - Birth Of Labor Rights

The First U.S. Labor Day Parade, Held In New York City, Marked A Pivotal Moment In The American Labor Movement.

Organized By The Central Labor Union, Around 10,000 Workers Marched From City Hall To Union Square, Voicing Their Demand For Improved Working Conditions And Fair Wages.

This Historic Event, Led By Figures Such As Peter J. McGuire, Brought Together A Growing Coalition Of Workers Across Various Industries.

The Parade Culminated In Festivities At Wendel’s Elm Park, Where Workers Celebrated Their Unity With Picnics, Concerts, And Speeches.

This Parade Would Inspire Future Labor Movements Across The United States, Leading Oregon To Become The First State To Recognize Labor Day As An Official Holiday In 1887.

By 1894, President Grover Cleveland Signed Legislation Making It A National Holiday, Cementing Its Legacy In The Fight For Workers’ Rights.
