This Labor Day we pay tribute to the contributions and achievements of the working men and women who paved the way for all of us.

Did you know – before it was a federal holiday, was recognized by labor activists and individual states? Massachusetts was one of the first five states to pass laws securing the holiday, seven years before President Cleveland signed a bill declaring it a National Holiday. Happy Labor Day, one and all!
