Iyanelle's Blog: Honor the Workers

Labor Day, also known as International Workers Day, is a national holiday dedicated to the labor or working community of a society. It is also known as Mayday because it is celebrated on the first of May every year. The day recognizes the value of workers and honors them for their hard work.

Labor Day recognizes and honors the contributions of workers to society, as well as their hard work and dedication. This day serves as a reminder to all workers of the importance of fair labor practices, social protection, and human rights. Workers Day is extremely important because it brings workers together, allows them to gather their thoughts, and allows them to spend time with their loved ones. Protests and programs are being organized by various organizations and labor unions to improve laborers' wages and working conditions. Workers are the backbone of our economy and should be treated with dignity.

Furthermore, celebrating Labor Day serves as a reminder that we can continue to fight for policies that promote decent employment opportunities and improve working conditions not only locally, but also globally. As businesses expand globally, our advocacy must be matched by efforts from governments responsible for protecting their citizens' welfare, particularly when they work abroad, such as OFWs and seamen.

Labor Day is promoted by the Central Labor Union primarily to protect labor rights. The labor force is the backbone of any society, accounting for more than half of all occupations. As a result, we must commemorate it in order to make every day a little better for our workers.
