# [Making a Difference for Labor Day | PlantStar](https://plantstar.com/blog/making-a-difference-for-labor-day)

On Monday, many of us in manufacturing and related industries will gladly be able to hit snooze without worry of punching in late.

The [Labor Day holiday](http://theconversation.com/have-we-forgotten-the-true-meaning-of-labor-day-64526), first celebrated 137 years ago in New York City, achieved national status in our United States by declaration of President Grover Cleveland in 1894.

While celebrating the resilience and triumph of the American worker may not be high on your list of things to do with a day off, we at [SYSCON PlantStar](https://syscon-intl.com/products/plantstar-manufacturing-execution-system/) would like to offer this poem for your reflection as you shop, barbecue, catch up on your honey-do list, or just relax on the couch in your underwear this weekend.

*September arrives: alright! Oh dear…*  
* employers’ anxiety, as the day draws near,*  
* mounts higher because they know, they fear*  
* The Day of the Laboring Worker.*

*A day of no productivity!*  
* A day where the doors of the factory*  
* are closed, and picnics replace corp’rate efficiency on*  
* the Day of the Laboring Worker. *

*How will we meet our deadlines?*  
* Who’ll move materials to the assembly lines*  
* when they’re all getting discounts in the checkout lines for*  
* the Day of the Laboring Worker?*

*Our global customers have demands!*  
* They expect our product in their hands*  
* with no account of this day in their lands:*  
* the Day of the Laboring Worker. *

*If only there was a solution—*  
* perhaps a new industrial revolution?*  
* a system to counter workforce dilution during*  
* the Day of the Laboring Worker!*

*Aha! An answer does exist*  
* and—if you try it—we insist*  
* that you will no longer fear or in any way resist*  
* the Day of the Laboring Worker. *

*The name of this solution, then,*  
* is PlantStar 4.0. And again*  
* we’ll show how we can make a difference when it’s*  
* the Day of the Laboring Worker.*

*And not just for one day alone*  
* does PlantStar rescue manufacturers who groan*  
* under the stresses that are all year well-known on each*  
* Day of the Laboring Worker. *

*For each day—in real-time (legit!)—*  
* our MES gives data, helpful insights, and tidbits*  
* that drive your business toward greater profit and*  
* a Day of the Laboring Worker. *

*So do not fret! Your jobs are done on time*  
* and increased efficiency saves you more than a dime:*  
* you can chill out for this end-to-summertime, this*  
* Day of the Laboring Worker.*

*PlantStar 4.0 is the way to go*  
* to keep workers happy and help your business grow.*  
* This poem is done and now you know…*  
* that on Tuesday you should schedule a demo to see how our MES is making a difference for manufacturers just like you!*

Have a wonderful, safe weekend!
