Honor the Worker in Your Life this Labor Day
GiftWorksPlus |
The first Monday in September marks Labor Day, a national holiday designated as a day to take time to appreciate those who make up our country’s workforce. While many people know that Labor Day means a day off of work, they might not know the origin of Labor Day.
In 1882, various workers unions in New York City decided to have a parade to celebrate their members and to show support for their fellow unions. Nearly 20,000 people were at the parade and the union workers had the day off from work to attend (and miss a day’s pay). Other states including Oregon, Massachusetts, and Colorado started having their own parades in the following years and by 1894, Congress passed an act designating the first Monday in September a legal holiday known as Labor Day.
Being a part of a union isn’t quite as common today — in 2014, 14.6 million people belonged to a union, versus 17.7 million in 1983 — but Labor Day has evolved over the years into a wider celebration that still recognizes organized labor.
GiftWorksPlus specializes in engraved picture frames and has a variety of wooden frames honoring a wide variety of occupations such as police, dentists, nurses, firefighters, and more. Their line of occupational picture frames is a thoughtful way to let those workers in your life know how much you appreciate their work. Many of these frames are multi photo frames, so they would also make great gifts for a dentist office, a nurses’ floor, or a sheriff’s department. These engraved frames from GiftWorksPlus complement any environment from the office space to home.
If you can’t find a personalized frame that’s exactly what you had in mind, just contact GiftWorksPlus to get a fully customized frame. The options are endless, so you’re sure to find the perfect gift to show your appreciation to a friend, relative, or coworker this Labor Day.
