Inventing Labor Day
Labor Day was first observed in 1882, but there is still disagreement who should take credit for its invention.
Some think it is Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor. Others believe it was Matthew Maguire, a machinist who later was elected secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson.
