Labor Day - some actual history:  http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/what-is-labor-day-and-why-do-americans-celebrate-it/ar-AArfnd7

Key facts:

“a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers."

The holiday evolved out of decades of tensions between workers and unions on one side, and state security forces and employers on the other.  (small business folks are owners; not employees or laborers)

Think about a psychological fact - owners have control;  workers/laborers do not.
