History
Labour Day is an annual(happening once every year) holiday to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. On 21 April 1856 workers on building sites around Melbourne, Australia, stopped work and marched from the University of Melbourne to Parliament House to achieve an eight hour day. Their direct action protest was a success. They are noted as the first organised workers in the world to achieve an eight hour day with no loss of pay, which subsequently(afterwards in either time or place) inspired the celebration of Labour Day and May Day.
Traditional observance
Labour Day is a public holiday in Australia. Since the holiday is fixed by the various state and territory governments, the dates vary(to display differences) considerably. Traditionally, workers, public or private, are entitled(to have the right to) to take off with regular pay. In recent years this tradition has changed somewhat. For example, businesses that are normally open may require employees to work that day.
