International Labour Day

History

International Labour Day, on May 1, honours workers and their rights. It grew out of the movement for the eight-hour working day, including the strikes in Chicago in 1886. In 1889 the Second International, a group of socialist and labour parties, chose May 1 for yearly demonstrations. Today it is a public holiday in many countries, including Ethiopia.
