International Workers' Day, also known as Labor Day or May Day, is celebrated on May 1st each year. This day honors the contributions and struggles of workers worldwide. It serves as a reminder of the importance of labor rights and the ongoing fight for fair working conditions.

 

 

Historical Background

 

The origins of International Workers' Day can be traced back to the late 19th century, particularly the labor movement in the United States. In 1886, workers organized strikes and demonstrations demanding an eight-hour workday. The most notable event was the Haymarket affair in Chicago, where a peaceful rally turned violent, leading to the deaths of several workers and police officers. This tragic event galvanized the labor movement and led to the establishment of May Day as a day to honor workers' rights.
