minus-squareShareThatBread [he/him, comrade/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·3 days agoLabour Day is celebrated with a public holiday in Australia. Each state holds it on a different day. It’s just not held on May 1st.
minus-squareFunkyStuff [he/him]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·3 days agoThat seems specifically made up to make it impossible for the labor movement to use the day for anything general.

minus-squareShareThatBread [he/him, comrade/them]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·3 days agoI think states hold it in March to honour the 8 hour “march”, or in May in tribute to May 1. If it was held on May 1 and that coincided with a weekend without a weekday off in lieu, people would go apeshit.
