5. For today's "official" day, consider "White Shirt Day." This day was first celebrated on Feb. 11, 1948, to honor the men and women of United Auto Workers who participated in the 1937 Sitdown Strike. The white shirt signifies how "blue collar" workers should be treated with the same respect as those in management.
