1 May 2017 Labour Day 2017 Also known as International Workers’ Day, Labour Day offers a proud “hats off” to working class men and women around the globe. This Spring holiday dates back to May 1886, when thousands of U.S. workers went on strike across the country in support of the 8 hour working day. The celebration reaches far and wide, although some countries, like the U.S. and Canada, mark Labour Day in September. Today’s Doodle depicts different work environments inspired by vintage posters and WPA (Works Progress Administration) murals. So put down those tools, close your laptops and take it easy this Labour Day!
