May Day (International Workers' Day)

May Day, also known as International Workers' Day, is celebrated on May 1st to honor the contributions of workers and to promote workers' rights globally. It originated from the labor movement's efforts in the late 19th century, particularly advocating for fair working hours and conditions, such as the eight-hour workday. Today, May Day is marked by demonstrations, protests, and rallies that highlight issues like fair wages, safe workplaces, and social justice. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and social equity across nations.
