On the meaning of Labor Day

From the October 2002 Issue of the International Cinematographer's Guild Journal:

"Would you believe that United Airlines docked the pay of one of the pilots who was killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001? His family was penalized because he didn't complete the flight. The airline also automatically suspended his widow's rights to free travel and discounts beginning the moment her husband was murdered."

I did not know this, and was shocked that I would hear this news first from, of all places, a filmmaking magazine rather than the front page of the New York Times.
