14th March – Vic Labour Day
What is Labour Day?
The celebration of Labour Day has its origins in the eight hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.
Labour Day is an annual holiday celebrated in Australia resulting from efforts of the labour union movement, to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. Around Australia the different states celebrate the day across a number of significant public holiday dates. The majority of other countries celebrate Labour Day on May 1.
