International Workers' Day being celebrated today

KATHMANDU, May 1: Today is the 134th International Workers' Day. On the occasion of International Workers' Day, Nepal is celebrating with the slogan 'Social Security, Decent Labour: Respect for Labour, Nation's Campaign'. This day is being celebrated all over the country under the auspices of labor organizations of various political parties along with the Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Social Security.

This day is being celebrated in memory of the day when the slogan 'Eight hours of work, eight hours of entertainment, and eight hours of rest' was established. In 1886, while the workers were protesting, a bomb suddenly exploded in a place called Hay Market in Chicago, USA. Although it was not revealed who caused the bomb blast, the police started a massive crackdown on the protesting workers.
