Wait until they hear about why “weekends” exist.
I think this is almost a “tongue in cheek” way of saying labor day. It’s less so a reflection on Target and more so reflection on what this holiday means to the average person.
They are so dissociated from class conflict. So alienated from their fellow workers (that are literally working on labor day) that no one really thinks of the blood that was spilled to bring them their current labor rights. Rights that have been dismantled for decades as they have been distracted by both political parties to ignore their class solidarity.
I’m less disappointed in Target than I am in what this type of sign says of the class consciousness in this country.
Or they want to reuse the sign on other long weekends
If that were the only reason, why does their website call it “The Long Weekend Sale”?
Oh, so the long weekend isn’t a holiday to celebrate labor? I think we need a holiday to celebrate labor. Let’s have another day off for labor.
