Should Businesses Be Open on Labor Day?

For most, Labor Day will mean a day off work, a backyard barbecue, or a final trip with the family down the shore. But for some, Labor day will be business as usual.

TD Bank, Stop & Shop, and ShopRite are just some of the businesses that will open for their regular Monday hours, while countless others will open for just a few hours.

TD Bank describes itself as America's most convenient bank and states that operating under a normal schedule on Labor Day fulfills their promise to customers.

"Unlike most banks that are closed, TD Bank stores will be open normal business hours for all of your banking needs. TD Bank delivers on its promise of having longer hours than any other bank," the release states.

Labor Day is a federal holiday instituted 130 years ago in honor of the working class, according to the Department of Labor website. It was designed to give hard workers, who might not otherwise have time off, a day of their own.
