Celebrating Labor Day
Date Posted: September 6 2013
From Marquette to Monroe, labor union members, family, friends and supporters
took part in Labor Day parades and festivities around Michigan. The founder of
the Labor Day holiday, carpenter Peter McGuire, suggested that the day “first be
celebrated by a street parade, which would publicly show the strength and esprit
du corps of the trade and labor organizations. Next the parade should be
followed by a picnic or a festival in some grove....” Done and done!
IN HONOR OF THEIR 100th Anniversary next year, IBEW Local 58 was given lead position in this year’s Detroit Labor Day Parade. Thousands of union members followed and joined the march along Michigan Avenue. Thank you to all who attended.
