Mr. Shui Mo wishes everyone a happy May Day.When is Labor Day in 2017?Labor Day 2017 is on Monday, May 1, 2017, the sixth day of the fourth month in the lunar calendar.The Origin of May 1 International Labor DayAt the end of the 18th century, the United States, Europe and many other countries gradually developed from capitalism to imperialism. In order to stimulate rapid economic development, squeeze more surplus value and maintain this high-speed capitalist machine, capitalists continued to increase working hours and labor intensity to cruelly exploit workers.In 1866, the Geneva Conference of the First International put forward the slogan of an eight-hour working day. On May 1, 1886, a large-scale strike and demonstration involving about 350,000 people was held in the United States, centered in Chicago. The demonstrators demanded improved working conditions and the implementation of an eight-hour workday. On May 3, 1886, the Chicago government sent out police to suppress the riot and shot and killed two people. The situation escalated, and on May 4, striking workers held a protest in Haymarket Square. Unidentified people threw bombs at the police, who eventually opened fire. A total of four workers and seven police officers died. This is known in history as the "Haymarket Riot" or "Haymarket Massacre." In the subsequent trials, eight anarchists were charged with murder, four were hanged, and one committed suicide in prison. Workers' protests were held around the world to commemorate this great workers' movement and to protest the subsequent verdict. These activities became the predecessor of "International Labor Day". In July 1889, at the founding congress of the Second International organized by Engels, it was announced that May 1st of each year would be designated as International Labor Day. What is the meaning of Labor Day?The significance of International Labor Day lies in the fact that workers have fought for their legitimate rights and interests through struggle and with a tenacious, heroic and unyielding spirit. This is a historic progress in human civilization and democracy. This is the essence of May 1st Labor Day.What are workers' rights?As the owner of human resources, workers in labor relations obtain the rights and interests they should enjoy by virtue of the objective existence of engaging in or having engaged in labor, including the right to equal employment and choice of occupation, the right to obtain labor remuneration, the right to rest and vacation, the right to labor safety and health protection, the right to receive vocational skills training, the right to social insurance and welfare, the right to request labor dispute resolution, and other labor rights prescribed by law.Summary: Through the above article, we know about the May Day Labor Day time and the significance of the festival.
