This day, 1 May, in 1908, China first recognised International Labour Day. Dating back to 1889, the Day is the result of the Marxist International Socialist Congress’ meeting in Paris, during which they adopted a resolution in support of working-class demands for an 8-hour day. The Catholic Church dedicated the Day to Saint Joseph, the patron saint of workers and craftsmen, in 1955.
