It's that time of the year again, the Internation Worker's Day! Time to celebrate all the things the labour movement has fought for.
8 hour workday
2-day weekends
40-hour work weeks
overtime pay
paid vacations
paid maternal and paternal leaves
banning the use of child labour
unemployment insurance
safety standards
and much more!
The labour movement was also influential in fighting for universal suffrage, free education etc. I'm no red but I can definitely appreciate all this. These days they're a given, 100 years ago not so much. Thank you! :thumbsup:
