International Workers' Day. AI-Generated.
Workers' Day, also known as International Workers' Day or Labor Day, is celebrated annually on May 1 in parks, streets, and city squares all over the world. A long and often difficult struggle for workplace fairness, dignity, and respect lies behind the colorful parades and solidarity songs. The 19th-century Industrial Revolution is where Workers' Day got its start. During that time, factories, mills, and mines across Europe and North America were booming with activity, but the workers who powered this growth often lived harsh lives. Laborers, including women and children, toiled in dangerous conditions for 12 to 16 hours a day, six or even seven days a week. They earned low wages and had little protection from injury, illness, or exploitation.
