SUMMARY:Labour Day
DESCRIPTION:Labour Day has its roots in an 1872 printers’ strike in Toronto. Fighting for a nine-hour work day\, the strikers’ victory was a major milestone in the changing relations between Canadian workers and their government. Learn more about how annual celebrations over the strike led to Labour Day becoming a public holiday in 1894 here: https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/origins-of-labour-day-feature \nToday\, if you are working in Canada\, your rights are protected by law. These laws apply to all workers\, including Temporary Foreign Workers\, Permanent Residents\, and Canadian Citizens. You can learn more about your rights as a worker at    \n🔴https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/rights-workplace.html and   \n🔵https://www.worksafebc.com/en/health-safety/create-manage/rights-responsibilities   \n
