International Labour Day

International Workers' Day, also known as Labour Day in most countries and often referred to as May Day, is a celebration of labourers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labour movement and occurs every year on May Day. In 1889, the Marxist  International  Socialist Congress adopted a resolution for a great  international  demonstration in which they demanded that the  workers  should not be made to work for more than 8 hours a  day . After this, it became an annual event and  May  1 was  celebrated  as  Labour Day .
