After the successful long Easter weekend, in which 880,000 people traveled throughout the country and spent $26,467 million in food, beverages, lodging, transportation, recreation, and shopping, the next holiday comes on Monday May 1, Labor Day.
It is one of the two holidays that May brings and is immovable, so it cannot be transferred. However, since it falls on a Monday, those who do not work on Saturdays and Sundays will be able to enjoy a long three-day weekend, the first of the two that May brings.
Labor Day is celebrated on 1 of May to commemorate the Haymarket case, which occurred on May 4, 1886 in Chicago (USA)the culmination of a general strike that had begun three days earlier.
Holidays 2023: the Government confirmed that there will be 19, with 4 long weekends
On that date, the workers went on strike to fight for the legal creation of the eight-hour workday. While the May 4 protest was peaceful at first, a dynamite bomb was thrown at the police, precipitating a riot and the deaths of several police officers and protesters.
Three years later, at a first meeting of the Second International labor organization in Paris, international demonstrations were scheduled for the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago strikes. The following year, in 1891, the Second International formally proclaimed May Day as an annual event.
Consequently, this resulted in the May Day riots of 1894 and, ten years later, the International Socialist Congress in Amsterdam called on “all organizations of the Social Democratic Party and trade unions in all countries to demonstrate vigorously on May 1.” for the legal establishment of the 8-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace.
