International Labour Day, also known as May Day, highlights the importance of fair labour practices, decent working conditions, and the protection of workers’ rights. The day serves as a tribute to past struggles and a call to continue striving for equitable treatment of workers across all sectors.
Labour Day has been officially recognised as a public holiday in Pakistan since 1972 and is marked annually through rallies, seminars, and events organised by trade unions and labour rights groups.
