Colleagues,

The SJSU campus will be closed on Monday, September 4, 2023, in honor of Labor Day – a day set aside to pay tribute to working men and women. Labor Day has been celebrated as a national holiday in the United States and Canada since 1894. On Labor Day, we acknowledge the accomplishments of labor unions, which successfully fought for worker protections such as the 40-hour work week, paid holidays, safer working conditions, health benefits, and aid when retired or injured. Labor unions were also instrumental in ending the practice of child labor. We hope you and those close to you enjoy a restful, well-earned day off.
