The picnics, speeches, and parades of todays Labor Day were all part of the first celebration, held in New York City in 1882. Its promoter was an Irish-American labor leader named peter J. McGuire. A carpenter by trade, McGuire had worked since the age of eleven, and in 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners . Approaching the Citys Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud(赞许)the industrial spirit-the great vital force of every nation, On September 5 his suggestion bore fruit, as an estimated 10,000 workers, many of them ignoring their bosses warnings, left work to march from Union square up Fifth Avenue to 42nd Street. The event gained national attention, and by 1893 thirty states had made Labor Day an annual holiday.
