In Response To: Next Ustream broadcast? (Casper van der Tak)

Casper US Labor day is always the first Monday of September, the weekend will be the days just before.

It is a bit confusing because internationally one would think of 1 May as Labor day (especially in socialist/communist countries).

It's even more confusing as May 1st was picked worldwide as the date of labor Day to commemorate events in the US (in Chicago).

It was decided to set labor day in September in an effort to avoid that day to be linked to the riots. It seems to have worked as few in the US know about May 1st events (many strikers and policemen were killed).
