The History of Labour Day?

Labour Day is observed worldwide to honor the labour movement and the struggles of workers for fair wages, safe working conditions, and workers' rights.

Its roots trace back to the Haymarket Affair in Chicago, USA (1886), when workers protested for the 8-hour workday.

Like many other countries, Suriname adopted May 1 as a day to celebrate workers and trade union achievements.

In Suriname, Labour Day is a national holiday and a day of recognition for the contributions of workers across all sectors of society. Trade unions and workers' organizations often hold marches, rallies, and cultural programs.

It is a holiday that highlights issues such as workers' rights, fair pay, and social protections. The day is both a celebration of workers' achievements and a reminder of the need for continued advocacy.
