answer: #Person1# suggests letting all the laboring staff members leave work an hour early before Labor Day. #Person2# cannot understand the reason, so #Person1# explains to #Person2# the main purpose of Labor Day.
documents: #Person1#: With tomorrow being Labor Day and all, I think it would be a nice gesture to let all the members of laboring staff leave work an hour early. What do you say?
  #Person2#: What! That sounds perfectly ridiculous! Labour Day is a holiday for everyone, not just laboring staff. . . and we get a whole day off tomorrow anyway, so what's the point of an extra hour tonight?
  #Person1#: Well, we all get Labour Day off as a holiday, the real purpose of the holiday is to remember all the people who do manual or other hard labor. It's to celebrate those who work doing what other people might not be willing to do. I think we ought to do something in honor of the common worker.
  #Person2#: So if we did allow the laboring force to go home early, how many people are we talking about?
  #Person1#: In our company, the laborial force makes up 60 % of our workers. We'd just be letting slightly over half the folks out a little early.
