Happy Labour day

Will I see you at the parade or picnic? When labour day began in the 1890s the procession was a big thing





.

Government employees were the first to get the 8 hour day. It spread to some private enterprise but like today there are many working longer days. 

Even in the 1970s health and safety was appalling as in this short National Film unit black and white The dustmen

 

Lets spare a thought for all our workers today.

  1. I let a pest bomb off in the shed yesterday to get rid of the ants so I guess that disqualifies me.
