It's not tulips for Amsterdam, it's tulips for Edendale in Southland, New Zealand. On just one day a year- Labour Day- Triflor NZ Ltd a tulip bulb exporter, opens one of their large paddocks for the public to visit and view an amazing display of flowers. The flowers aren't for picking though, they will cut and mulched and the bulbs will then be harvested. De-heading the flowers is to stop them setting seed and taking away all the goodness from the bulb. And before you cry foul, imagine trying to sell 70 million tulip blooms (let alone employing the labour to pick them). As one grower said 'When did your partner last buy you a dozen tulips?'

Never forget that Labour rights like leave with pay, sick pay, dismissal protection, right to strike and so on aren't taken for granted. It was a hard fight to get them.

International Workers' Day is a celebration of labour and the working classes that is promoted by the international labour movement and occurs on May 1 every year. That day, May 1, is also the traditional European Spring holiday of May Day. Therefore, May 1 is a national public holiday in more than 80 countries, but in only some of those countries is the public holiday officially known as Labor Day or some similar variant. In the other countries, the public holiday marks the Spring festival of May Day.
Further, still other countries celebrate a Labour Day unrelated to International Workers' Day and on other dates significant to the labour movement in that country, such as the Labor Day in the United States which is on the first Monday of September.
May 1 was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago that occurred on May 4, 1886.

Thanks guys for your visit, comments and Favs. Have a good day !!!
... "L'Italia è una repubblica democratica fondata sul lavoro".
Article 1 in our Constitution: "Italy is a democratic republic based on work".
Even if our government think this is such an absolete concept (and, actually, looking at the situation here, they are somehow right ... ) and it's going to change it, looking forward to a more "modern and flexible" Constitution (not to talk about more modern and more - oh, so much more! flexible young workers) ...
Buon Primo maggio a tutti :-)
Happy Labour day to you all :-)
btw - this is our Union's logo for the Labour Day, just rivisited a little bit, so, please - no awards!

...we took a mini getaway and spent a couple of nights in kl city...
Canada has been celebrating Labour Day on the same day that the USA celebrates its Labor Day since both countries made it an official holiday in 1894. In Toronto there had already been a Labour Day Parade since 1872.

Taken on labour day. I saw this kid sitting on his fathers shoulders. And when I was about to take the picture someone walked into the frame. But there still is something about it that I like. And I still think it works pretty good.

1er Mai, aujourd'hui une fête, hier un massacre
"On peut remarquer des différences dans plusieurs pays sur la façon dont la fête des travailleurs est pratiquée. Au Canada et aux États-Unis, la journée internationale des travailleurs est célébrée le 1er mai, tandis que la fête du travail est un jour férié du mois de septembre1,2. Au Royaume-Uni et en Irlande, elle est décalée le premier lundi de mai. En Australie, elle est fêtée à différentes dates proches du printemps ou de l’automne."
...
"La fête internationale telle qu'elle est célébrée de nos jours tire son origine des combats du mouvement ouvrier pour obtenir la journée de huit heures, à la fin du XIXe siècle.
Aux États-Unis, au cours de leur congrès de 1884, les syndicats américains se donnent deux ans pour imposer aux patrons une limitation de la journée de travail à huit heures. Ils choisissent de débuter leur action le 1er mai parce que beaucoup d’entreprises américaines entament ce jour-là leur année comptable, et que les contrats ont leur terme ce jour-là. La grève générale du 1er mai 1886 est largement suivie7. Ils sont environ 340 000 dans tout le pays.
À Chicago, la grève se prolonge dans certaines entreprises, et le 3 mai 1886, une manifestation fait trois morts parmi les grévistes de la société McCormick Harvester. Le lendemain a lieu une marche de protestation et dans la soirée, tandis que la manifestation se disperse à Haymarket Square, il ne reste plus que 200 manifestants face à autant de policiers.
C’est alors qu'une bombe explose devant les forces de l’ordre. Elle fait un mort dans les rangs de la police. Sept autres policiers sont tués dans la bagarre qui s’ensuit. À la suite de cet attentat, cinq syndicalistes anarchistes sont condamnés à mort (Albert Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Engel, August Spies et Louis Lingg) ; quatre seront pendus le vendredi 11 novembre 1887 (connu depuis comme Black Friday ou « vendredi noir ») malgré l’inexistence de preuves, le dernier (Louis Lingg) s’étant suicidé dans sa cellule. Trois autres sont condamnés à perpétuité.
En 1893, le gouverneur progressiste de l'Illinois signe des pardons pour les syndicalistes encore détenus, en raison de la fragilité de l'enquête et du processus judiciaire.
Sur une stèle du cimetière de Waldheim, à Chicago, sont inscrites les dernières paroles de l’un des condamnés, August Spies :
« Le jour viendra où notre silence sera plus puissant que les voix que vous étranglez aujourd’hui »

"May Day parade and strikes
In October 1884, a convention held by the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions unanimously set May 1, 1886, as the date by which the eight-hour work day would become standard.[16] As the chosen date approached, U.S. labor unions prepared for a general strike in support of the eight-hour day."
...
The Haymarket affair (also known as the Haymarket massacre or Haymarket riot) refers to the aftermath of a bombing that took place at a labor demonstration on Tuesday May 4, 1886, at Haymarket Square in Chicago. It began as a peaceful rally in support of workers striking for an eight-hour day. An unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at police as they acted to disperse the public meeting. The bomb blast and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians; scores of others were wounded.
In the internationally publicized legal proceedings that followed, eight anarchists were convicted of conspiracy. The evidence was that one of the defendants may have built the bomb, but none of those on trial had thrown it. Seven were sentenced to death and one to a term of 15 years in prison. The death sentences of two of the defendants were commuted by Illinois governor Richard J. Oglesby to terms of life in prison, and another committed suicide in jail rather than face the gallows. The other four were hanged on November 11, 1887. In 1893, Illinois' new governor John Peter Altgeld pardoned the remaining defendants and criticized the trial.
The Haymarket affair is generally considered significant as the origin of international May Day observances for workers."
