Labour Day: more than just a day off

On May 1st, we mark Labour Day. For many, it’s just another day—but its roots lie in worker movements like the Haymarket affair in 1886, a turning point in the fight for the eight-hour workday.

Today, many rights seem self-evident. Yet they are under pressure. Think of flexible work, rising workloads, and growing inequality. The labor market is evolving fast—and so are the challenges workers face.

That’s why this day still matters. It’s a moment to reflect on what’s been achieved—and what still needs to improve.

How do you see the future of work?
