Feb
White Shirt Day on February 11 is a special day to remember how hard factory workers fought for better job conditions in the past. It started in 1937 when workers in a place called Flint, Michigan, stayed inside their workplace in a strike to ask for fair treatment, like safe working environments and good pay. Wearing white shirts honors these brave workers because they used to wear white shirts to show they deserved respect, just like the office bosses who wore white shirts. It's a day to think about fairness and respect for everyone who works hard every day.
How to celebrate White Shirt Day?

Make sure to take photos of everyone in their white shirts for memories. Share stories about working hard and helping others while enjoying tasty snacks. At the end of the day, appreciate the teamwork and remember the good times you had with everyone.
