Labour Dayについて
Labour Day (also spelled Labor Day) is an annual public holiday that celebrates the contributions and achievements of workers. It originated in the labour union movement of the late 19th century and is now observed in countries around the world, typically on May 1st (International Workers' Day) or on country-specific dates.
The holiday traces its roots to the eight-hour workday movement. In 1886, American and Canadian trade unions organized a general strike for an eight-hour working day. In 1889, the International Socialist Congress declared May 1st as International Workers' Day in commemoration of the Haymarket affair in Chicago.
In many countries, Labour Day on May 1st is a major political occasion with marches and rallies by trade unions. In the United States and Canada, Labour Day falls on the first Monday of September and is traditionally seen as the symbolic end of summer.
