A Bit of History: What Labor Day Stands For

Labor Day was first celebrated in the late 1800s, during a time when the average American worked 12-hour days, seven days a week. As the labor movement gained momentum, this holiday was established to acknowledge the contributions of working men and women across the country.

Officially signed into law in 1894, Labor Day became a symbol of the strength, perseverance, and unity of the American workforce. And more than a century later, that spirit continues to inspire us.

Our Message to the Workers of America

To every person who puts in the work, whether in a warehouse, behind a wheel, on a job site or anywhere else your boots hit the ground, we thank you.

We know the job isn’t always easy. Long hours. Physical demands. Tough conditions. That’s why we design safety footwear that works as hard as you do: supporting you every step of the way with lightweight durability, comfort, and protection.

Proxon isn’t just a brand. It’s a commitment to the people who keep shelves stocked, machines running, packages moving, and projects built.

This Labor Day, we’re proud to stand with you.

Keep Moving Forward

As the world changes, one thing stays the same: the work doesn’t stop. But neither does the pride that comes with doing it well. So whether you’re on shift or off the clock this Labor Day, take a moment to recognize how far you’ve come and the essential role you play in our nation’s story.

From all of us at Proxon, thank you for what you do. We’re honored to be part of your journey.
