 fact of labour's day

Labor Day traces its origins back to the late 19th century labor movement, where workers across several nations demanded improved working conditions, just wages, and an eight-hour workday. The inaugural recognized Labor Day was commemorated in the United States in 1887 and has since evolved into a significant occasion for workers' rights globally. The holiday emerged from the labor union movement, particularly the drive for an eight-hour workday, which proposed eight hours each for work, recreation, and rest.
