Labour Day

Labour Day is a public holiday that honors the contributions of workers and the labor movement. Celebrated in many countries on different dates, it recognizes the importance of fair working conditions, reasonable hours, and workers’ rights. Originating in the late 19th century during the rise of industrialization, Labour Day serves as a reminder of the efforts made to improve labor standards and promote equality in the workplace. It often includes parades, demonstrations, and leisure activities, allowing workers to rest and reflect on their achievements and ongoing struggles for fair treatment at work.
