Labor Day, perhaps to the surprise of some, is not the official national holiday to rest after the opening of the college football season. It originated in the labor movements of the 19th century and was granted as a public concession to the labor unions in the aftermath of the deadly Pullman Strike of 1894. So, on Labor Day, we are celebrating the labor movement and labor unions. But the question is whether the values of the labor movement and unions coincide with or are at odds with those of Christianity.Links:
