In 1889, the World Workers’ Congress was held, 400 delegates attended this conference, and a decision was made to set 8 hours a day to work.

The conference approved the proposal of the representative of the workers of the French city of Bordeaux La Vigne to designate May 1 as International Workers’ Day, and the celebration of this day began from 1890 to the present day.

This day has become part of the culture of all countries of the world.
