THE EH-ow ALWAY':i MATTER�
WHEREAS, Labor Day is a U.S. national holiday held the first Monday every September; and
WHEREAS, we take the day off to celebrate and reflect on the American worker’s contributions to our country; and
WHEREAS, the largest and one of the most important American labor organizations at the time, the Knights in New York City held a public parade featuring various labor organizations on September 5th; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of Labor’s official tribute to U.S. workers on Labor Day is the vital force of labor added materially to the highest standard of living and the greatest production the world has ever known, and has brought us closer to the realization of our traditional ideals of economic and political democracy; and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate, therefore, that the nation pays tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so much of the nation’s strength, freedom, and leadership — “the American worker”.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, SHELLY PETROLIA, Mayor of the City of Delray, Florida, on behalf of the City Commission, do hereby proclaim September 6, 2021, as
National Labor Day
and encourage all citizens in Delray Beach to observe this day and honor the contributions and resilience of working Americans everywhere.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Official Seal of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, to be affixed this 17th day of August 2021.
