If you're looking to conduct a banking transaction or mail a package this weekend, it may be a good idea to plan ahead.
That's because this upcoming Monday is Labor Day, a federal holiday that will see banks and post offices shut down for the day.
The holiday celebrates "the social and economic achievements of American workers" and is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday "to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America's strength, prosperity, and well-being," according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The first Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City, and by 1894, 23 more states had adopted the holiday. President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September of each year a national holiday on June 28, 1894.
Here's what you need to know about banks, post offices and shipping services, and whether or not they'll be open on Labor Day.
