The laborers were forced to work 10-15 hours a day under extremely difficult conditions. Workers in chemical factories, mines and other similar places suffered greatly.
Finally, they decided to raise their voice against this persecution. At the same time trade unions were founded, although it was considered illegal in many countries, trade unions were formed and strikes were held. Workers also held protests and rallies.
Finally, the government listened to their request and reduced the working hours to eight hours. Thus, this special day was also fixed to celebrate the efforts of this class.
