I'm not familiar with the background of the US Labor Day (I know, my friend Mr WIkipedia could tell me), but the New Zealand Labour Day (last Monday in October I think) commemorates the movement in the 19th century by a Wellington builder, Samuel Parnell, who refused to work more than eight hours a day. Eight hours work, eight hours sleep, eight hours play.
So in a way, we're having some time off because if Parnell hadn't put his foot and his tools down, we would have been working much longer hours!
Off to work...
