"Workers in New York City first celebrated Labor Day in 1882, when thousands of them marched up Broadway to demand an eight-hour workday. It's hard now to imagine a time when American workers couldn't take an eight-hour workday or a five-day workweek for granted, but those basic rights are products of the labor movement. They did not exist when the country first began to industrialize in the 1800s." (KRT NEWS SERVICE) The author opines that "as beneficial as this progress has been for American workers and the American economy, the truth is that now it is slowly eroding. Today, the largest corporation in America has made shortchanging workers the hallmark of its business plan."
