Labour Day, observed on May 1st, is a public holiday in Mayotte just as it is in many other parts of the world. This day is also commonly known as International Workers' Day or May Day and is a day dedicated to honoring workers and the labor movement.
The origins of Labour Day can be traced back to the labor union movements, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. Internationally, the celebration of Labour Day was initiated by the Second International, an organization of socialist and labor parties formed in Paris in 1889. The date was chosen to commemorate the Haymarket affair that occurred in Chicago on May 4th, 1886.
