The historic May Day will be celebrated with full respect across the world like in Bangladesh on Monday.
May Day, also known as International Workers’ Solidarity Day, commemorates the historic uprising of working people in Chicago, United States, in the late nineteenth century at the height of a long fight for the eight-hour workday.
This day is a public holiday in Bangladesh.
This year, the theme of the day in Bangladesh is “Shramik-Malik Oikya Gori Smart Bangladesh Gore Tuli,” (roughly translated: ‘Build worker-employer unity, build smart Bangladesh’).
Newspapers will publish supplements while radio and television channels will broadcast special programs highlighting the importance of the day.
Various organisations, political parties have outlined various programs to celebrate the day.
