Labour Day

Labour Day, also known as International Workers' Day or May Day, is celebrated globally on May 1st to recognize and honor the economic and social contributions of workers.

Labour Day has its roots in the late 19th-century labor movement, particularly the struggle for the eight-hour workday. It was inspired by events such as the 1886 Haymarket Affair in Chicago, where workers protesting for better conditions faced violent suppression.

Labour Day is a time to acknowledge workers' rights, celebrate achievements by labor unions, and advocate for better working conditions, fair wages, and employment equity.
