Explanation:
Labour Day is celebrated in various countries around the world. This is one day that is exclusively dedicated to the labour class. However, unlike various other days we celebrate, this one did not originate that easily.
It all began with the rise in industrialization. The industrialists exploited the labour class. They derived a lot of work from them but paid them meagrely. Labourers were made to work for 10-15 hours a day in tough conditions. Those who worked in chemical factories, mines and other similar places suffered all the more. Many of them fell ill and many others lost their lives working under such circumstances for long hours.
Finally, they took the courage to stand united and raise their voice against this tyranny. Around that time, forming trade unions and going on strike was also considered illegal in many countries. However, even as it meant risking their job, many labourers came forward to protest against the injustice they were going through. Trade unions were formed and labourers went on strike. They also carried out rallies and protests. Eventually, the government heard their plea and the working hours were reduced to 8 hours. A special day to celebrate the efforts of this class was also set. The date of Labour Day varies from country to country.
