Resolution commemorating International Workers' Day
A resolution to commemorate May 1st as International Workers' Day
WHEREAS, the Haymarket affair, which took place on May 1st, 1886 in Chicago; was a huge event in the fight for workers' rights in this region
WHEREAS, many countries around the world commemorate May 1st and said event as a celebration of the fight for workers' rights across the world
RESOLVED, that the Region of Lincoln shall officialy recognize and commemorate May 1st as "International Workers' Day". This recognition shall not impact in any way the commemoration or status as a bank holiday of the first Monday in September as Labor day
I must admit, I'm quite fond of this Resolution. Good action, Councillors.
