Question

speech on labour day

 

Answer 1

Work is worship is a proverb that emphasizes the importance of working hard. No work is big or small. Hence all workers are equal in the eyes of God and they must be treated equally in the eyes of the society too. To celebrate and appreciate the efforts of the hardworking laborers, the international labour day is celebrated every year on the first of September. It is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of laborers. For many countries, "Labour Day" is synonymous with, or linked with, International Workers' Day, which occurs on 1 May. Some countries vary the actual date of their celebrations so that the holiday occurs on a Monday close to 1 May. The remainder of this article addresses those countries for whom Labour Day is not linked to International Workers' Day.

Answer 2

Labour Day is an annual holiday celebrated all over the world that resulted from efforts of thelabour union movement, to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers.  The celebration of Labour Day has its origins in the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. On 21 April 1856 stonemasons and building workers on building sites around Melbourne, Australia, stopped work and marched from the University of Melbourne to Parliament House to achieve an eight hour day. Their direct action protest was a success, and they are noted as the first organized workers in the world to achieve an eight-hour day with no loss of pay, which subsequently inspired the celebration of Labour Day andMay Day.  Most countries celebrate Labour Day on May 1, known as May Day.
