Памятник на этом месте расположен не случайно - в начале двадцатых годов здесь располагалась биржа труда, на которой искали работу на сезон приезжающие в Москву работники.
По преданию, моделью для “Сезонника” послужил настоящий сезонный рабочий, пришедший в Москву из деревни на зимние заработки. Он пришел сюда с сыном, но сын неожиданно умер, и именно это состояние сезонника отобразилось в изваянии. По другой же версии моделью послужил отец скульптора Шадра, сельский плотник.
Monument "Seasonal workers" was opened in 1929 at the suggestion of the Office of Public Utilities Moscow.
