Happy Labor Day From SERVPRO Newton Wellesley

We hope that you have a healthy and safe Labor Day weekend and are able to enjoy time off.

Labor Day occurs on Monday, September 6th. It is a day to tribute the contributions and achievements of the hard-working Americans.

Labor Day was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century. It later became a federal holiday in 1894. This is an annual celebration of workers and their achievements originated during one of American labor history’s most dismal chapters.

The Industrial Revolution in the United States on average had Americans working 12-hour days and seven-day weeks just to make a basic living. Even children as young as 5 or 6 were working in mills, factories, and mines across the country.

People of all ages faced extremely unsafe working conditions, sanitary facilities, and uneven breaks.

Today symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans. This is celebrated with parties, street parades, and festivals. 

We hope that you have a healthy and safe Labor Day weekend and are able to enjoy time off. 

SERVPRO of Newton Wellesley is available 24/7 including holidays and weekends to assist you and get your home back to “Like it never even happened.”
