About Most countries of the world celebrate LABOUR DAY (LABOR DAY) on May 1st. which is also known as May Day.

The origin of Labour Day stems from the early 1860s when the general campaign for an eight-hour working day began. This issue was important for employees, many of whom were expected to toil for unreasonably long hours in poor conditions. While annual processions of unionists began in the mid 1860s, these marches were quite small and restricted to only those who had achieved the eight-hour principle.

The battle for fairer hours and conditions continued in Queensland and although by 1888 eleven unions had won significant gains, however conditions for many people had deteriorated. A greater sense of union solidarity began to emerge at this time as workers in varying industries banded together in the common struggle. This solidarity resulted in the Labour Day march being opened to all workers for the first time in 1890. The initial linking in Queensland of Labour Day with May Day occurred in the outback Queensland town of Barcaldine on 1 May 1891 when striking bush workers marched through the streets.

I'm posting this photo today coz I'll be on a vacation for about 1 week and I don't want to miss this special day... After I come back I'll catch up with the comments "Insha'Allah".

A fine picture. (Pity about the figure in the background being in just that position the second you took the shot. but that's life.)

Very appropriate shot for the occasion. Found the about section very informative, thanks for sharing. I agree with your depiction, even though things have progressed quite a lot over the years, but still a lot has to be done specially in the third world countries. Employer abuse is still rampant and rights are at times crushed by malevolent design. Can say because have tasted this first hand. Anyhow pray things will improve as over all awareness increases.

The photo has its effect through the documentary information. A person with a load on the shoulders in a background unusual for me. Therefore it is first interesting for me. Regards Gerhard

I suspect you put in far more than 8 hour days in your job dear Khaled? - have yourself a well deserved break! Very telling of who you are, a professional physician intellectually connected with labor history - thank you for the reminder in your succinct ?about?.

My regards,

C
