May Day, also known as International Labor Day, originated in 1886. On May 1, 1886, proletarian workers in Chicago, USA, went on a major strike to advocate for the implementation of an eight hour workday. After a difficult and bloody struggle, they finally achieved victory. In commemoration of this great workers' movement, in July 1889, at the Second Founding Conference organized by Engels, it was announced that May 1st of each year would be designated as International Labor Day.
From the history of the emergence of May Day, it can be seen that May Day was an 8-hour workday that proletarian workers fought for themselves through bloodshed and sacrifice. Cracking down on the ruthless exploitation of capitalism. Every May Day, there is a holiday, and everyone only knows about it. But many people do not know its actual value and significance. Its value lies in advocating for an 8-hour workday for proletarian workers.Looking at the current situation domestically. How many workers can have an 8-hour workday? It's okay without an 8-hour workday. There are still despicable illegal behaviors such as 996, 007, the working spirit of workers, and not working overtime implying losing one's job. Moreover, it doesn't seem like much if it's illegal. Everyone thinks it's normal. If workers don't work overtime, it means losing their jobs. The phenomenon of internal competition among working people is particularly severe. In order to give the company a good performance in the same office, some employees work overtime for free and do not leave even after finishing work. If you do not work overtime, you may appear out of place and face the risk of losing your job if the company finds out. What else is the 996 work schedule. A certain entrepreneur often advocates that youth without 996 is wasted youth, turning illegal behavior into a daily routine. And it's illegal, it doesn't feel painful or itchy, and everyone has become numb and accustomed to it.The May Day holiday in 2022 is from April 30th to May 4th, with a total of 5 days of compensatory leave. April 24th (Sunday) and May 7th (Saturday) are normal working days. Zhengzhou Junda Instrument Co., Ltd. wishes everyone a happy holiday and every day.
