The 1st of May is widely celebrated as 'Labour Day' or 'International Workers' Day' and is a declared national public holiday in many countries. But in some European countries, the day is marked as a traditional spring holiday; marking the beginning of spring, and not as "Labour Day" or "International Workers' Day". Interestingly, in USA and Canada, the day is marked as 'Labor Day', on a different date; 1st Monday of September each year. This material carefully walks you through the whole story of Labour Day; its origin and players, and clearly paints to you the true pictures of the events that subsequently lead to the global recognition and celebration of 'Labour Day'.
