International Workers’ Day, also known as Labour’s Day, is a celebration of the working class. This event is promoted by the international labor movement. Labor Day is on May the 1st and it’s a public holiday in many countries

Labor Day originated during the workers’ movement in early 18th and 19th century Europe, when workers began organizing to demand better working conditions and shorter working hours. A crucial event that occurred in 1856 was particularly important, when Australian stonemasons in Victoria stopped working to support the eight hour workday movement, which inspired workers in other countries. The most significant turning point that occurred in Chicago in 1886 was the workers’ strike to fight for an eight hour workday. On May 4th, a violent incident erupted during a protest at Haymat Square, resulting in several deaths. In 1889, at the Second International Conference held in Paris, it was announced that May 1st would be celebrated annually as a holiday to commemorate Chicago workers and promote global labor rights. Since then, many countries celebrate Labor Day on May 1st as a symbol of worker unity and the struggle for fair treatment.
