Every year, May 1 is observed as International Worker's Day, also popularly known as International Labour Day across the globe. It is also often referred to as "May Day" in several countries and is a celebration of laborers as well as the working classes worldwide against exploitation by employers while it also promotes the International Labour Movement. The first day of May every year is observed as a public holiday in many countries including India as International Workers' Day, Labour Day, or May Day. 


However, in other countries such as the United States and Canada, Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September month.


 The day has its origins way back in the 19th Century after trade unions and workers in the US took to the streets to put forth their demands of reduction in daily working hours and better working conditions. In terms of India, May Day was first celebrated across the country back in 1923, after the Labour Kisan Party of Hindustan initiated the celebration in Madras.
