Good day, everyone! I would like to remind you all about Labour Day. Today, we honour the hard work and dedication of all the workers around the world. Labour Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, it is a day dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers around the world.  It’s a day to recognize and appreciate the contributions of workers in all fields. It’s a special day to recognize the contributions of workers of our society. Let’s take a moment to reflect on the importance of their efforts in shaping our communities. The first Labor Day holiday was celebrated in New York City on September 5, 1882, by the Central Labor Union. The holiday's origins include the 1886 Haymarket Riot in Chicago, when thousands of workers protested for an eight-hour workday. The riot began on May 1, 1886, and on May 4, a bomb was set off, killing seven police officers and eight civilians.
