Next week marks the unofficial end of the Summer as it will be the fist Monday of September also known as Labor Day. You can almost smell the irony when a country decides to celebrate labor by taking a day off. Of course isnt that what labor unions are best at doing anyway?
Look at the Major League Baseball Player Union strike that happened a few years backyou had guys making millions of dollars per year to play a game, and yet they refuse to work until they get more. The reality is that these players didnt really need the money, they just didnt feel much like going to work so the used the strike as a means to get some time off.
The truth about Labor day however is the lesser-known fact that more pregnant women go into labor on Labor day than any other day of the year. There is no real scientific explanation for this phenomenon but it has been confirmed time and time again by statistical observation and verified by millions of women around the planet. The holiday was later named for the labor unions by feminists who felt that having a day devoted to honoring women in labor was degrading and reminded society that women are different from men.
So enjoy your day off and know that you are benefitting from one of the greatest holiday contradictions in calendar history.
