May Day or International workers day, Labours Day... May 1st on this day, the workers, labours all around the world celebrates it as an annual holiday. This day is the result of the massive labour union movement this day celebrates social and economic achievements of workers.
In Europe this day has much older significance, this is celebrated as rural festival, because the labours movement and demands of labours were approved with respect, and yes they deserved grand celebration. Some other countries celebrates this day conducting parades,patriotic and labour oriented events.
Many other countries started following this and dedicated this day to the labours.
We require a man power to build this Nation, without workers there would no factories, constructions, and even no developments of countries , many of the companies started taking advantages of workers asking them to work more than 8 hours a day without any rest, some tortured them with more work and payment to these people were not fixed.
The person who secured the rights of labours in India was "Father of Modern India" Dr.B.R.Ambedkar with out him today the workers have to go through the same darkness.
He made Reduction in Factory working Hours from 14 hours to 8 hours became a light for workers in India. and appealed it in 7th session of Indian Labour conference in New Delhi on Nov27 1942
His Ideas and Decisions framed many laws for Labours in India.
All workers should be grateful to Dr. Ambedkar, especially women employees for making...
- Mines Maternity Benefit Act
- Women Labour Welfare Fund
- Women and Child Labour Protection Act
- Maternity Benefit for Women Labour
- Restoration of Ban on women employment on Work in Coal Mines
- Indian Factory Act,
- Minimum Wage,
- DA to workers
- Provident fund Act,
- Health Insurance Scheme,
So these acts made them to make their life and family secure with their work.
As Civil engineer I truly understand how important is the man power in construction Site, you cant do anything with your workers.. so it is must that you should respect your workers, should make a payment on time, and should provide all the things which they deserve legally and as also as a human being.
This day we should honor the workforce of our nation,
