International Labor Day

Honors the global workers' rights movement and labour struggle

About this Holiday

International Labour Day (May Day), observed every May 1st, honors the global workers' rights movement and the hard-fought struggle for fair wages and humane working hours. The tradition traces back to the late 19th-century labor movement in the United States, particularly the Haymarket affair of 1886. In Indonesia, Labour Day was officially declared a national public holiday in 2014.
