I think you mean "Labour Day"...with the more European English spelling.

Yeah, it could also be said that the US government intended "Loyalty Day" to be a counter to "Labour Day"...with all of its socialist/communist connotations.

(Although "May Day" was the technical name for that "worker" holiday in the Soviet Union...not "Labour Day.")

"May Day"..."Americanization Day"..."Labour Day"..."Loyalty Day"......

...Hmmmm...perhaps I'll just start a new holiday and call that day "May 1st Day" instead.
