It shows that people in America work hard each and every day. 100 years after there was still question of who proposed the holiday. Peter J. McGuire, general of Brotherhood of Carpenters and joiners, of the American Federation of Labor were probably the ones who have suggusting the day to honor all of the workers of America.

A machinist named Matt Maguire proposed Labor Day.A day in 1882 he was serving as a secertary in Central Labor Union in New York on that day he was the one who proposed to the holiday.
