Ever wondered about the true significance of Labor Day beyond barbecues and retail sales? Join us as we uncover the rich history and enduring impact of this pivotal holiday with the help of our favorite educator, Chad Reed. Together, we explore the post-Civil War era and the rise of labor unions as a force against worker exploitation, shining a light on critical events such as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and the Haymarket Square riot. This episode provides a deep dive into how industrialization shaped labor movements and laid the groundwork for the rights and protections we often take for granted today.
