Is Labour Day still celebrated on 1 May?

Or is the faded glory?

Has the trade union movement and the PvdA (the red family) become organizations that no longer consider the need to celebrate 1 May. 'We have already achieved a lot, 'it was said at the end of the 1950s at the NVV trade union that they had already achieved 90 percent of the targets. Then there is no sure in 2021 no more need for battle. Under Wim Kok in the 90s (once the great union man), the Labour Party became a party that embraced capitalism.. Road Solidarity. Welfare State Road . Long live the individual. Ikke and the rest can choke. Take the payment scandal as an example.

Labour Day the year 1889. During the first congress of the international socialist organization 'Second International' it is decided to demonstrate the following year on 1 May. The call is massively responded, it appears in 1890 during the first organized Labour Day. In the United States and much of Europe, people take the streets for the eight-hour working day, better working conditions and the preservation of peace. In the following years, Labour Day becomes an annual tradition. This is the battle song of the Socialists, the Communists and the Anarchists: the International.

I loved the information in the post, there were things I didn't know about how the worker's day was given. And congratulate those who go out to the street to work honestly.

keeping us abreast of those festivities that we did not know they were given to celebrate, the important thing is that with this post we keep more aware of everything

In many places it is celebrated and Venezuela does not escape these celebrations, it takes the opportunity to protest and tell the government that we claim as workers.

I think that it should still be celebrated, and that we should still fight for the reasons it proclaims, because in some countries the basic labour measures are not yet implemented.. 12 hours of work, lack of insurance, poor working environment and above all 0% job improvement

I myself have only recently found out what the day of labor actually stands for. Before that I was still studying, of course, so it's also the first time I really worked when it was labor day.

The day of work, that day that with so much effort we get to give credits to all that we give support to our homes, people who give commitment to everything

The May 1 celebration was this year in minor due to the coronameasures'. The fact that the union still makes sense is evident in certain countries. The basic income could well be the end of syndicalism in the industrialized countries.

Good mail. Given the queues that are already standing in front of IKEA, Action and others, Walhallas consumes, I assume that even the hardworking working class has now embraced capitalism. Personally, I do not believe in any sanctuary. Not in a capitalist... Show moreGood mail. Given the queues that are already standing in front of IKEA, Action and others, Walhallas consumes, I assume that even the hardworking working class has now embraced capitalism. Personally, I do not believe in any sanctuary. Not in a capitalist and not in a socialist. I believe that a state generally brings little salvation. I'm more of a humanist.

I don't even know anymore... In my country, it is, but I feel like not many people in other countries celebrate it.

1 mei is in België ook de dag van de Arbeid maar ik heb daar nooit veel aandacht aan gegeven of het is dat ik mijn vrouw heb leren kennen op die dag en dat vond ik al heel wat meer speciaal.

Marie Koster

Ik denk, dat wij dit al jaren niet meer vieren. Kennen wij nog het fenomeen arbeiders met 1.1 miljoen ZZP'ers?
