Labour day

Labour day is on the fourth Monday of October. The first Labour day was on the 28th of October 1890.

Labour day is a day to remember the thousands of people who fought for the eight hour working day.

New Zealand was the first country to claim this right when Samuel Parnell won an eight-hour working day in Wellington. Samuel's full name was Samuel Duncan Parnell. He was born on the 19th of February 1810 and died on the 17th of December 1890.
