Today all over the World is celebrated Holiday - Labour Day, which is associated with the memory of those who died in the struggle for their rights. in Paris in 1889 was signed a decree appointing May 1 as the Day of International Solidarity of Workers Which means that exactly 135 years have passed.
Another theory of the origin of this holiday: on May 1, 1886, American workers organised a large-scale strike in Chicago. They demanded that factory owners raise wages and reduce the working day to eight hours.
Currently, this holiday does not hold mass events, mainly on this day concerts, marches and car rallies are held.
It is not a day off, but some country dwellers have leisure time after work and a comfortable atmosphere with their families or in a restaurant.
By the way: Lithuania joined the European Union on 1 May. It happened 20 years ago - in 2004.
