Why Celebrate Labour Day? Honoring the Hands That Build Our World

 

Every brick laid, every road built, every product made, and every service delivered — behind it all stands a worker. Labour Day, observed on May 1st in many countries, including India, is more than just a public holiday. It's a powerful tribute to the contributions, rights, and dignity of working-class individuals who are the true backbone of our society.

🛠️ The Origins of Labour Day

Labour Day, also known as International Workers’ Day or May Day, traces its roots back to the late 19th-century labor movement. The movement fought for fair wages, humane working hours (specifically the 8-hour workday), and improved working conditions.

In India, Labour Day was first celebrated on May 1, 1923, in Chennai by the Labour Kisan Party. Since then, it has become a symbol of unity and a reminder of the essential rights every worker deserves.
