Labor Day 2018 is about to come.

And the national holiday will still be celebrated on the first Monday in September, namely September 3, 2018.

It is known to all, people have gathered for better working conditions or celebrations on Labor Day for over 130 years.

Early in 1882, the first Labor Day was celebrated in New York City.

But it has not been the three-day holiday until 1884.

After that, Congress passed an act in 1894, which made the day as an important national holiday.

Since then, workers have viewed the day as a chance to organize activities for their respite.
