International Labor Day
May 1! This is the day of a common man. Who is away from his house to work for the hunger of his children and family. International Labor Moment simulated this day for the celebration of labors. This day is also the traditional European Spring holiday called as May Day. Therefore, this is a national holiday in more than 80 countries, but only in some of those countries is the public holiday officially known as Labor Day or some similar variation.
May 1 was chosen as the date for International Labor Day by the socialist and communist after the Haymarket affair in Chicago that occurred on May 4, 1886. Labor Day is held in Pakistan on May 1 every year to give tribute to workers sacrifices in achieving economic and social rights. All government and non-government organizations and educational institutions remain closed at this day. Pakistan’s first labor strategy was created in 1972, in which May 1 was stated as an official holiday.
On May 4, 1886 when the workers of Chicago were on strike “for eight hour workday”, an unidentified person threw a bomb at the police while they were trying to disperse this public assembly. In its reaction police fired on workers and kill four people. Some reliable witnesses testified that all the flashes came from the street where police were standing. Moreover, the initial report made no mention the firing by civilians. The Haymarket affair is usually considered important as the beginning of international Labor Day observances for workers. The site of the incident was designated a Chicago landmark in 1992.
This 1886 carving was the most broadly reproduced image of the Haymarket Affair. It incorrectly shows fielded speaking, the bomb blast, and the demonstrating beginning simultaneously.
In 1889, the first 2nd international meeting of congress called for the international demonstrations on the anniversary of Chicago affair. Labor Day was recognized as an annual event for the first time in 1891. The congress made it compulsory upon the blue-collar organizations of all countries to stop work on May 1,
wherever it is possible without injury to the workers. In the United States and Canada, the Labor Day holiday is in September. A September holiday was first proposed for the United States in the 1880s, before the Haymarket affair groups in Canada were already celebrating a Labor Day. But after the Haymarket affair in 1887 it was established as an official holiday in September.
According to Professor William J. Adelman "No single event has influenced the history of labor in the United States, and even the world, more than the Chicago Haymarket Affair. It began with a rally on

May 4, 1886, but the consequences are still being felt today. Although the rally is included in American history textbooks, very few present the event accurately or point out its significance".
