Labor Day came about because workers felt they were
spending too many hours and days on the job. In the
1830s, manufacturing workers were putting in 70-hour
weeks on average. Sixty years later, in 1890, hours of
work had dropped, although the average manufacturing
worker still toiled in a factory 60 hours a week…and
many of the Board and PYC members at PYC are still
toiling away!
THANK YOU for ALL that each of you do.
Enjoy this Beautiful Day…hopefully at PYC.
~
Many thanks to all members who reserved the PYC
facility for their 2024 gatherings…you were so
easy to work with and left the facility better than
you found it! We are so pleased that you chose PYC
for your celebrations and enjoyment.
