The Kamala Harris threat to the American worker

Created by an act of Congress in 1894, Labor Day is one of the nation’s oldest holidays, older than Veterans Day (1938) but not as old as Memorial Day (1888). Democrats like to associate the day with labor unions, but the law establishing the holiday makes clear it was intended to honor all workers, not just those organized in the way the blue party most likes.

“The use of national holidays is to emphasize some great event or principle in the minds of the people by giving them a day of rest and recreation, a day of enjoyment, in commemoration of it,” the legislation reads. “So long as the laboring man can feel that he holds an honorable as well as a useful place in the body politic, so long will he be a loyal and faithful citizen.”
