This is what Labour Day was created to distract us from in Anglophone "North America", right?

As of this year's edition, I'm still looking for steadier work, better work, honest or at least honourable work. My most recent contract was fun, good, mentally healthier, better-paying than I'd had before. Too bad it was only two months.

Pleased to see the tentative agreement between Treasury Board of Canada and four bargaining groups represented by the Public Service Alliance of Canada. Hoping it goes better for the Union of Taxation Employees and soon.

I think? this day has a long history of making the powerful wish we would just get back to work and think about things related to our labor productivity. Even in the USA.

As a lifelong pedant and labour nerd I must point out that the September Labour Day (1872) predates May Day (1886) as Labour Day:

That said May Day is clearly a better one.
