Labor Day is an annual celebration of workers and all of their achievements.  Poor workers and kids began to rallying strikes, to protest against receiving little money, for working in unsafe working conditions every day.  Labor Day was not legalized by congress until twelve years later.  June,26,1894, The American Railroad Union boycotted the all of the railway car, and practically crippled all of the railroad traffic nationwide.  This caused the federal government to dispatch troops in Chicago, and over a dozen workers were killed.  Due to all of this the congress agreed to pass a law saying that Labor Day is a legal holiday.  Labor Day is to this day celebrated all over the United States.  People keep Labor Day alive by celebrating it through, picnics, barbecues, parades, and firework shows.
