Labour Day

Labour Day, also known as **May Day** or **International Workers' Day**, is celebrated in Liechtenstein on **May 1st** each year, as it is in many other countries around the world. This public holiday honors the contributions of workers and the labor movement, emphasizing workers' rights, fair working conditions, and social justice. In Liechtenstein, Labour Day is marked by various events, including parades, speeches, and gatherings organized by trade unions and workers' associations. It is a day for reflection on the achievements of the labor movement and a reminder of the ongoing efforts to improve workers' rights and conditions. Many people in Liechtenstein enjoy the day off work, spending time with family or participating in community activities. While Liechtenstein is a small country with a strong economy and relatively high standards of living, Labour Day remains an important occasion to recognize the value of labor and the importance of solidarity among workers. The holiday also aligns with broader European traditions of celebrating workers' contributions to society.
