Humble,Texas Oil Field Workers early 1900's
Today, we honor and celebrate the social and economic achievements of workers all across America! In the early 19th century, American workers faced harsh and unsafe working conditions. The labor movement pushed for better conditions in order to improve the lives of the working class. On September 5, 1882, in New York City, around 10,000 union workers marched in the first recognized Labor Day celebration in the U.S.
Happy Labor Day Folks!
