On May 1st,1886,men and women in the US and Canada stopped working and went onto the streets.They walked through cities and towns to fight for working eight hours a day.
By the early 20th century,Labour Day became a national holiday in many countries on May 1st.However,in the US and Canada,it is on the first Monday in September.So people can enjoy a longer weekend.In many parts of the US,Labour Day is also the last day of the summer vacation,and students return to the school next day.
