It all started in the 19th century.

這一切都始於19世紀。

Overworked and exhausted laborers were fed up and demanded better treatment.

In Canada, laborers marched to their Prime Minister's doorstep and asked for their right to form unions Oh Canada.

工人們聚集在一起野餐，音樂會和演講，為工作8小時和勞動假期集會。

Oregon was the first state to officially recognize the holiday, but it wasn't until 12,000 government forces were sent to quell a strike and two railway workers were tragically killed that pressure mounted from the American workforce and Labor Day was put on the federal calendar.

俄勒岡州是第一個正式承認這一節日的州，但直到12，000名政府軍被派去平息罷工，兩名鐵路工人不幸遇難，美國勞動力的壓力越來越大，勞動節才被列入聯邦日曆。

More than 80 countries worldwide celebrate Labor Day or International Workers day on May 1st, but the first Monday of September made sense for Americans because it falls between Independence Day and Thanksgiving.

Football season starts and fashionistas hang up that little white dress.

But let's not forget that Labor Day is a celebration of the labor movement dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers all over the world.

It's evolved into an appreciation of life and well-deserved break from work.

So make sure to enjoy your Labor Day with family and friends.
