Yes, Westboro Toyota is talking about Labor Day, which will be here before you know it. Observed on the first Monday of September, this year, the unofficial end of summer comes on Sept. 3. And with Labor Day in less than a week, Westboro Toyota can’t help but ponder: What is the real meaning behind this American holiday?
To celebrate the social and economic contributions of workers across our great land—that’s one succinct definition of Labor Day. In the early days, Labor Day supporters envisioned a holiday filled with street parades, speeches by prominent individuals and reflection about the educational facets of the labor movement. Nowadays, we often think of end-of-summer cookouts and harvest fairs to bid adieu to summer and say hello to the crisp days of fall.
Toyota’s is on board with visions. It has made its commitment to the U.S. labor force a priority, and recently there it celebrated the 40th anniversary of Toyota Auto Body California (TABC), the company’s first manufacturing investment in the United States, which now employees close to 500 hard-working Americans who are responsible for making the stamped and welded parts on your Toyota, as well as the steering columns and catalytic converters for a number of Toyota’s vehicle assembly plants across North America. Here is where tests, inspections and repackaging of end-of-life hybrid vehicle batteries take place, too. It’s clear that TABC, and other Toyota manufacturing facilities across the United States are a labor force to be reckoned with—after all, Toyota makes some of the most beloved vehicles that Americans drive—from the Camry to the Rav 4 and the Prius!
Whatever you do on Labor Day, Westboro Toyota hopes you’ll embrace the holiday. Here are some ideas to get your engine revving for this upcoming weekend:
Take a scenic drive using Toyota and the Aududon Society’s “Exit the Highway” as a roadmap for your travels.
Get involved in your local community. For instance, Westboro Toyota is a proud sponsor of the Northboro/Southboro Youth Football and Cheer Association. We recently purchased new helmets for the league and can’t tell you how rewarding it feels to give back to so many well-deserving kids (more on how their season is going to come soon!). Westboro Toyota encourages everyone to take advantage of the nice weather—why not sign up for a charity roadrace or walk this Labor Day weekend to benefit a well-deserving cause focused on helping those in need across Metrowest, Massachusetts and the world?
Finally, stop by Westboro Toyota’s showroom to get in on the Toyota’s nationwide clearance event before it, like Labor Day 2013, is history.
