Historical Aspect
Looking at the historical aspect, the protest for 8-hour shift began in the 1980s in the United States of America. There are some who argue on the proposition of 'Labour Day' in the year 1880, while other historians claim Labour's movement began in 1882, 1887, 1889 and even 1894.
However, workers uniting in Haymarket Affair in Chicago in 1886 to celebrate May 1 as International Workers’ Day seems more logical. Reason being, about 400,000 workers protesting peacefully for an eight-hour day shift were attacked and many got killed. Following this, protests and demonstrations held in different parts of the world and soon it became a global sensation, where workers started taking a stand for their rights.
