[Marian Petrides]

Pierre,

Labor Day is a national holiday in the US to celebrate working 
Americans.  It traditionally marks the end of the summer, just as 
Memorial Day--late in May-- (remembering all those who died in the 
service of our country) marks the start of summer.

Quoting from the department of Labor website   
http://www.dol.gov/opa/aboutdol/laborday.htm               :

"Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor 
movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of 
American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the 
contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and 
well-being of our country."

There's lots more information on how Labor Day came about at the above 
URL if you are interested.
