People across the world celebrate 1 May as "May
Day", which is also known as "Labour Day" or
"International Workers' Day".

The concept of this day began in 1886 in Chicago,
US. Several people were killed and injured during a
general strike on the eight-hour workday.

In India, the first Labour Day or May Day was
celebrated in 1923 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. This day
is dedicated to workers and labourers.

The day is marked as a national holiday. Some
institutions and trade unions organise pageants and other activities to show the importance of workers.
Most political leaders make speeches.

Here are a few quotes and wishes on Labour Day:
