May 1st is celebrated worldwide as International Workers’ Day – a day that honors the history of labor movements and the ongoing fight for fair working conditions. The holiday traces its roots to the late 19th century, when workers in the United States and Europe organized strikes and demonstrations demanding the eight-hour workday. The most notable among these was the general strike in Chicago on May 1, 1886, which later became a global symbol of workers’ rights.
Today, this holiday serves as a reminder of the importance of labor rights, social justice, and solidarity among workers worldwide.
Our office will be closed during the holiday. We wish you a peaceful and restful day!
