International Workers Day HistoryInternational Workers' Day, also known as Labour Day celebrates the social, economic, and political achievements of workers. It is observed in various countries across the world, aiming to promote and demonstrate the importance of labor rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions. The observance is marked by labour union-led events, which include marches, demonstrations, and various gatherings to support and acknowledge workers' rights and achievements. The history of International Workers' Day dates back to the late 19th century when the labor union movement started advocating for an eight-hour workday. In Europe and many other countries, this observance took hold on May 1, as a result of the resolution passed by the International Workers' Congress in 1889. In Denmark, the fight for better working conditions and workers' rights has a long and proud history. The first Danish trade unions were established in the late 19th century, and since then, Denmark has been one of the countries with the highest levels of union membership, ensuring that workers' rights are well-protected and respected. International Workers' Day is observed annually on the 1st of May. It is not a designated public holiday, but many people join in the celebrations and attend events organized by labor unions and political parties. These events usually involve speeches by leaders from labor unions and parties, highlighting the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and welfare. The day is often marked with a festive atmosphere that includes music, food, and activities designed to foster a sense of camaraderie among workers and to reemphasize the importance of solidarity in the labor movement.
