Labor Day, which is typically marked on the first Monday in September, honors the contributions and accomplishments of American workers. The labor movement started in the late 19th century, and it was declared a federal holiday in 1894.
In 2022, labor day is celebrated on September 5th and the Goodwill Organisation has rescheduled the working hours of all their outlets in tribute to the laborers. Let us have a look at it!
On this Labor Day, Goodwill joins family, friends, and members of your community in celebrating working people and the accomplishments of the labor movement. Labor Day both remembers and celebrates the causes we have fought for in the past. We are more powerful as a unit.
Throughout the province, labor councils are hosting activities this weekend. For times and places, see the list below, or get in touch with the council in your neighborhood.
Enjoy Labor Day!

About Goodwill
Goodwill Industries International Inc., also known as Goodwill (stylized as goodwill) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in the United States that offers job training, employment placement assistance, and other community-based programs for persons who face work-related challenges.
Additionally, veterans and those with employment issues or lack of education are hired by Goodwill Industries. A network of 3,200+ retail thrift stores that also function as autonomous nonprofits fund the organization.
With 165 regional Goodwill retail locations in the United States and Canada, Goodwill Industries operates as a network of independent, community-based organizations in South Korea, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico, Panama, Uruguay, the United States, and eight other nations.
It was first known as Goodwill in 1915 and gradually grew after its foundation in 1902.
Goodwill organizations made $6.1 billion in revenue during the 2018 fiscal year, of which $5.27 billion was used for charitable services and $646 million for wages and other running costs. Services accounted for 89 percent of the costs. More than 37 million people were reached by the organization in 2015, and more than 312,000 of them were given jobs.
A hand up, not a handout, is Goodwill’s motto. Teaching people the skills to achieve personal stability—abilities like job readiness and professional training—is a key component of our goal. Everybody’s definition of personal stability is unique, which is why Goodwill Northern New England offers services and support in the areas of healthcare, employment, and cleanliness to assist anyone in achieving stability.
