Union Labor Parade
El Día del Trabajo del Unión
Union Labor Parade
In the 1880s the first U.S. Labor Days took place in different cities. Back then, it was all about laborers wanting better treatment from their employers. In 1894 President Grover Cleveland signed into law a national Labor Day, and the law states this holiday is to be celebrated every first Monday in September. As years went on, and unions got stronger and larger, Labor Day was, indeed, a day to celebrate the worker. This picture shows the celebration of Labor Day in El Paso in the 1910s. A Parade took place in which these men with their cars joined.
