May 1 is International Workers’ Day. On this day, people in many countries around the world celebrate workers’ achievements and march in the streets demanding fair pay and better working conditions.
International Workers’ Day is a celebration of working people and a day when people campaign for decent work and fair pay. Thanks to action taken by workers over many years, millions of people have won fundamental rights and protections. Minimum wages have been established, there are limits on working hours, and people have the right to paid holidays and sick pay.
