International Workers' Day, also known as Labour Day or May Day, is celebrated on May 1st each year to honor the contributions and achievements of workers around the world. The day has its origins in the labor union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated for eight hours of work, eight hours of rest, and eight hours of recreation. The date was chosen to commemorate the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago, USA, in 1886. During a peaceful rally in support of the eight-hour workday, a bomb was thrown at the police, resulting in violence and the deaths of several people, including police officers and civilians. The event led to the establishment of International Workers' Day as a day to advocate for workers' rights and remember those who lost their lives in the struggle for better working conditions. International Workers' Day is celebrated with various activities, including parades, rallies, and speeches, highlighting the importance of workers' rights, social justice, and solidarity among workers worldwide. It is recognized as a public holiday in many countries and is a time for workers to come together to celebrate their achievements and continue the fight for fair labor practices and improved working conditions. #internationalabourday #workersday #workersday2024 #softwarecompany #digitalmarketing
