Celebrating May Day: A Tribute to Labour Movements Worldwide May 1st marks the commemoration of International Labour's Day, also known as May Day, a day deeply rooted in the history of labour movements globally. A Global Movement: Since the late 19th century, workers and labour unions across the world have come together on this day to honour the contributions of workers, advocate for labour rights, and champion social and economic justice. Historical Significance: May Day originated from the struggle for an eight-hour workday, particularly symbolized by the Haymarket affair in Chicago in 1886, where workers protested for better working conditions. This pivotal event sparked a wave of international solidarity and inspired subsequent labour movements worldwide. Continued Relevance: Today, May Day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles for fair wages, safe working conditions, and dignified livelihoods for all workers. It stands as a testament to the power of collective action in advancing the rights and well-being of workers everywhere. Let's honour the spirit of solidarity and resilience embodied by May Day, and continue to strive for a world where every worker is valued, respected, and empowered. Happy International Workers' Day! #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay #LaborRights #Solidarity #SocialJustice #WorkersRights #History #Activism #Empowerment #ZHIPatna #ZHI #CEDPatna

Labour Day, also known as International Workers' Day or May Day, is celebrated on May 1st each year. ✨ Historical Origins: - The roots of Labour Day trace back to the Haymarket Affair in 1886. In Chicago, American laborers were advocating for an 8-hour workday, which they believed was fair. However, peaceful protests escalated into violence, resulting in deaths and injuries. - Despite the turmoil, socialist parties across Europe convened in 1889 and designated May 1 as International Labour Day. This day symbolizes hope and resilience for workers worldwide, even in challenging circumstances. ✨ Significance: ✅ Honoring Workers: Labour Day recognizes the vital role played by workers and the working class in shaping our societies. It reminds us that their commitment and loyalty cannot be quantified by mere monetary compensation. ✅ Advocacy for Rights: Beyond a public holiday, Labour Day serves as a platform to acknowledge the contributions of individuals to societal development without bias. It emphasizes the importance of workers' rights and welfare. ✅ Global Celebration: Countries around the world join hands on May 1 to celebrate the hard work and dedication of workers, regardless of their roles. It's a day to express gratitude and appreciation for their tireless efforts. Happy Labour Day dear friends 💐

8 hours work, 8 hours recreation, 8 hours rest. Today, although there are many versions of this formula, we in the West generally take it for granted. The historical truth is that the right to have a life beyond the workplace was something people had to fight and die to achieve. Today, Labour Day, we honour and celebrate those who saw the injustice of working conditions not only they were experiencing but their fellow citizens too. They stood up to management and created unions by banding together, literally putting themselves at risk to achieve what is now law. We owe them our gratitude. Did you know most of the world celebrates Labour Day on or near May 1 as International Workers Day or on another date? In celebrating it in September, we in Canada and the US are in the minority. Check out the map here (https://lnkd.in/dFyhTHH) to learn more. More importantly, remember that the fight is not over. This struggle continues all around the world. Working conditions in many countries still put workers in danger, and the Human Resources arm of business is still an important part of labour relations and the enforcement of labour law. We at Four Square Mindfulness celebrate and recognize Labour Day because we understand that workers' rights are human rights. We believe in a fair day's pay for a good day's work, and we know that the strength of unions and organization uplifts all workers and the national economy. Don’t give up the fight. Labour Day is still and always will be important! #FourSquareMindfulness #LaborDay #LabourDay #LaborDayWeekend #LabourDayWeekend #UnionStrong #UnionProud #LaborUnions #WorkersRights #solidarity #HappyLaborDay #workers #mindfulness #meditation #MindfulMeditation #gratitude #JustBreathe #LoveIsAVerb #LoveIsActivism #LoveLearningLiberation #DiversityIsOurStrength #SocialJustice

“Honoring the Unseen Heroes of Our Society" Today, on International Labour Day, we pay tribute to the backbone of our society - the labour community. While we enjoy the comforts of our daily lives, let's not forget the struggles and hardships faced by those who build our homes, harvest our food, and keep our industries running. 🌟 The labour community faces numerous challenges, including: ❌ - Low wage rates: Despite their tireless efforts, many labourers are paid meager wages, making it difficult for them to support their families. - Long duty hours: Labourers often work extended hours, sacrificing their personal time and well-being for the benefit of others. - Unsafety at workplaces: Hazardous working conditions put labourers' lives at risk, leaving them vulnerable to injuries and illnesses. It's time to recognize the value and dignity of labour! We need to: ☑️ - Advocate for fair wages and social security - Promote safe working conditions and healthcare access - Empower labourers to speak up for their rights Let's come together to build a society that respects and supports the labour community. They are the true heroes of our society, and it's time we acknowledge their contributions. 💯 #LabourDay #InternationalWorkersDay #LabourRights #SocialJustice #FairnessForAll

Happy #WorkersDay to our community. Here is a little insight into the day and it's significance. "1 May Originally born from the protracted struggle for workers’ rights and social justice of the late 1800s, Workers’ Day has been an international holiday in many countries since 1891. In South Africa, a country with its own long and sordid history of labour and social conflicts. Workers’ Day has been officially recognised and observed since the first democratic elections in 1994. The holiday serves both as a celebration of workers’ rights and as a reminder of the critical role that trade unions, the Communist Party and other labour organisations played in the fight against Apartheid. Workers’ Day in South Africa holds its own cultural significance, as the public holiday has come to signify not only the sacrifices made on the long road toward fair employment standards but also the bitter battle against Apartheid in which trade and labour unions played a key role. Because South Africa’s working classes were those most oppressed by Apartheid, the struggle for better working conditions and the struggle to overthrow systemic segregation became closely linked. Before the elections of 1994, labour and trade groups often used Workers’ Day as a symbol to rally the population against the segregation and oppression of the Apartheid system, organising demonstrations and encouraging widespread resistance." - RSA Government #ProudlyMarist #LoveOfWork #Presence

🔴 According to the European Trade Union Confederation (CES - ETUC), Italy is the country with the highest absolute number of workers unable to afford a holiday https://lnkd.in/d9-9HB9B The recent increase in the number of workers across Europe unable to afford a week’s holiday has sparked concerns about growing economic inequality and its impact on employees' well-being.   This troubling trend underscores the urgent need for stronger collective bargaining and better work-life balance initiatives, such as a more efficient enforcement of the right to disconnect, to which CEC European Managers’ member organisations have actively contributed in recent consultations with the European Commission.

Today, we celebrate Labour Day, a day dedicated to the achievements of workers and the labour movement. The origins of Labour Day date back to the 19th century when workers fought tirelessly for fair wages, reasonable working hours, and safer working conditions. You might wonder why Canada and the United States celebrate Labour Day in September instead of joining the international community on May 1st, also known as May Day. The choice of September was largely influenced by business and political leaders, particularly in the United States, where they sought to distance the celebration from May Day’s associations with more radical elements of the labour movement. The establishment of Labour Day in September also reflects a broader strategy by those in power to promote a version of labour recognition that was less confrontational. By shifting the focus away from May Day, which was a day of international solidarity among workers, they aimed to create a more domesticated celebration that emphasized cooperation between labour and management rather than international class struggle. This does not diminish the significance of Labour Day, but it does remind us that the fight for workers’ rights has always involved navigating the interests of those in power. As we reflect on the history of Labour Day, it’s important to recognize the ongoing need for solidarity and vigilance in the face of attempts to dilute the power of the labour movement. The labour movement's history is filled with stories of courage and perseverance. From the early strikes that demanded basic rights to today’s efforts to secure fair treatment in a rapidly changing economy, the fight for justice and equity in the workplace continues to be as relevant as ever. On this Labour Day, let’s take pride in our achievements, but also commit to carrying forward the spirit of those who came before us. Together, we can continue to make strides towards a fairer and more just society for all workers.

🔴 Almost 40 million working Europeans can't afford a proper vacation and cannot disconnect from their routine (+15% compared to 2021). This has tremendous consequences for social cohesion and people's mental health and well-being. https://lnkd.in/dzvX-Vda The recent increase in the number of workers across Europe unable to afford a week’s holiday has sparked concerns about growing economic inequality and its impact on employees' well-being.   This troubling trend underscores the urgent need for stronger collective bargaining and better work-life balance initiatives, such as a more efficient enforcement of the right to disconnect, to which CEC European Managers’ member organisations have actively contributed in recent consultations with the European Commission.
