And we're back. Today, I take a look at Labour Day – and how it came to be. I will also give you a heads-up on what I'm looking to do this year on the podcast. \*\*\*\** If you would…
So, where are we? We are at September 13th, 2026.
Um, back when I first started writing a day by day about things at the beginning of COVID.
back in March of 2020, it was about my seemingly never-ending collection of t-shirts.
For the record, today I am wearing a dark blue shirt obtained from Holland America Cruise Line, given to me actually from my father and mother-in-law.
But the shirt, it says Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii.
I think I know what they're trying to say.
So, yeah.
Sounds like a promo for a radio station.
The first significant march for an eight-hour workday It seems weird that people were fighting to work eight hours.
It's not Canada.
But this came about when stonemasons and building workers marched from the University of Melbourne to Parliament House to demand shorter working hours.
I think they were on 12 hours at the time, so nine, wow.
That's like a 25% cut.
That's not bad.
The strike of all these workers led to a large demonstration on April 15th, 1872, and there were thousands and thousands of workers who marched in solidarity.
That's labor without the O, or the U, rather.
Could you tell? No, I guess not.
