May Day
May 1, 2008
It was a socialist gathering in Paris in 1889 that Labour was born. At the International Socialist Congress then, 400 delegates from 20 countries met and voted to hold an international demontration to push for an eight-hour work day. The date set was May 1890. Since then May day is a day where angish labours and unions lashes the street in potest and marches with banners for better employment terms and working conditions. Not in Singapore though. Let us look at what is going around the world today. For me, this is just another day to get by. It isn’t meant for unemployed…Haha!
