International Workers Day is a major celebration around the world and it is celebrated to commemorate the day of May 4, 1886, the Haymarket incident in Chicago also known as the Haymarket Massacre.

In the year 1891, Labors Day was officially approved by the Second International Congress to celebrate it as an annual event.
Why is Labor Day celebrated?
International Labor Day or May Day is celebrated to promote the need for an eight-hour workday, as well as to end the struggle of workers. Earlier, the working conditions of laborers were very painful as they used to work 10 to 16 hours in unsafe conditions. During the 1860s, death, injuries, and other horrific conditions were extremely common in the workplace for workers. People working the entire day were very angry until an eight-hour working day was declared.
In many industries, there was a need to raise voice for the safety of working people due to an increase in the death rate of working-class people, reducing their working hours in industries was extremely important. After a lot of efforts by workers and socialists, eight working hours were declared by the American Union of Workers at the National Convention of Chicago in 1884 as legal working time for workers. Many people sacrificed their lives during the Haymarket massacre, which took place in Chicago during the workers’ strike. Labors Day is celebrated to promote the social and economic achievements of working group people, as well as to remember the Haymarket massacre.
