The Origin of May 1st International Labor Day

Instead of fast food fashion concept, vetiver is based on the idea of the wearer, not limited to the scope of age or season. At every time of the day, every region and every place can freely change and connect smoothly. Vetiver skillfully combines leisure style and soft multi-functional materials to create a clothing piece valued by fearless and confident women.

Our take on the modern prairie dress, the sweet Vetiver dress has a v-neckline, fitted bodice, and puff sleeves with 3/4 length smocked cuffs. The romantic sleeves are beautifully complimented by the ruffled tier finishing the hem. She is oh so perfect for summertime picnics or just frolicking in the dappled sunshine.

 International Workers' Day originated from the struggle of American workers for an 8-hour workday in the 19th century, with the core event being the Haymarket Affair in Chicago in 1886. The following is the specific background and development process:

1. Historical background: the rise of the workers' movement

During the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century, workers generally faced long working hours (10-16 hours a day), low wages and poor working conditions. Labor organizations in Europe and the United States began to put forward the slogan of "8-hour workday", demanding "8 hours of work, 8 hours of rest, and 8 hours of free disposal".

2. Key event: the strike in Chicago in 1886

the 1st May: The American Federation of Labor (AFL) launched a nationwide strike demanding the implementation of an 8-hour workday. Chicago was one of the centers, with about 350,000 workers participating.

the 3rd May: Chicago police suppressed striking workers, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

the 4th May: Workers gathered in Haymarket Square to protest. During the period, someone threw a bomb, which caused riots. The police opened fire to suppress the riots, resulting in the deaths of many police officers and workers (known as the "Haymarket Massacre" in history). Afterwards, eight worker leaders were arrested, four of whom were sentenced to death by hanging.

This incident became a symbol of the international workers' movement and inspired the sense of solidarity among workers around the world.

3. Established as International Labor Day

in 1889: The Second International (International Socialist Congress) was established in Paris. In commemoration of the Chicago incident, it was announced that May 1st of each year would be designated as "International Workers' Day" and workers from all countries were called to hold demonstrations.

in 1890: For the first time, many European and American countries held May 1st parades simultaneously, which gradually became a memorial day for global workers to fight for their rights.

4. China's May 1st Labor Day

in 1920: China commemorated May 1st for the first time, and workers and intellectuals in Beijing, Shanghai and other places held rallies.

in 1949: After the founding of New China, the State Council officially designated May 1st as the statutory Labor Day, and the whole country had a day off (now a 5-day holiday).

5. International Status

Socialist countries and most countries: such as China, Cuba, Russia, France, etc., regard May 1 as a legal labor holiday, often accompanied by parades or celebrations.

The United States and Canada: Although they are the birthplaces of May Day, due to historical reasons (the government wants to dilute the socialist color), the first Monday in September is designated as "Labor Day".

The Labor Day is not only a holiday, but also a symbol of commemorating the unity and struggle of the working class and fighting for their rights. Today, it is also used to call for improving working conditions and protecting the welfare of workers. Workers are the cornerstone of social operation, and their contributions deserve praise.

GUANGDONG HONGYUAN METAL PACKAGING CO., LTD, actively responded to the national holiday arrangement for Labor Day and take a holiday from the 1st May to the 5th May, which reflects the company's respect for the rights of workers and support for national policies. Such an arrangement not only allows employees to enjoy the holidays they deserve, but also helps to improve their job satisfaction and sense of the belonging to the company.

The significance of Labor Day holiday:

1. Protecting the rights of HONGYUAN workers: Taking a holiday allows employees to get enough rest and balance work and life.

2. Carry forward the spirit of labor: Encourage society to respect labor and workers.

3. Promote social harmony: Reflect the company's care for employees and enhance team cohesion.
