We will celebrate Labor Day on Monday, Sept.
4 and for many it will be a day off from work,
a paid holiday, but what does it mean?
Labor Day is a day to recognize and honor the American Labor Movement. It is always the first Monday in September and is observed in the United States and Canada as a legal holiday. In many countries it is celebrated on May 1.
The Knights of Labor inaugurated the celebration of Labor Day in 1882. Different organizations then petitioned for legislation making the day a legal holiday; in 1887 Colorado actually passed the first law to that effect. The day is marked by cessation from usual labor.
Labor Day for others means the end of summer vacation and back-to-school for the children. Come Tuesday, Sept. 5 it should go without saying that the roads in our county will begin carrying our most precious cargo: our children. We feel the need to remind drivers to be careful. Reduce speeds in school zones and allow buses the room they need to operate safely.
We have all been delayed by a slow-moving bus at one time or another, but let's practice patience. The consequences of rushing to beat a bus certainly can hardly compare with being a few moments late for an appointment.
The best way to keep your cool is to allow some extra time to get to work — especially in the morning when traffic tends to be more congested. That way you won't have to get upset about that slow-moving bus in front of you. A leisurely drive to work could become a great habit to start the day.
