May 1 is globally celebrated as International Labour Day, dedicated to recognizing the struggles and contributions of the working class. Originating from movements in America and Chicago advocating for an eight-hour workday, it evolved into a day for workers’ rights worldwide.
International Labour Day serves as an annual reminder to acknowledge the challenges and contributions of workers and the working class.
History
The roots of International Labour Day trace back to the events of 1886 in America, where laborers demanded an eight-hour workday. The peaceful demonstration escalated into violence, culminating in what became known as The Haymarket Affair, marking the inception of International Labour Day.
Subsequently, in 1889, various socialist parties in Europe united to designate May 1st as International Labour Day, a tradition upheld annually since then.
Significance
International Labour Day serves as a reminder of the invaluable contributions made by laborers and the working class to societal and national development. It emphasizes the importance of laborers understanding their rights, as they often face exploitation.
By empowering laborers with knowledge of their rights, the day aims to foster better working and living conditions for workers, urging collective action towards their improvement.
