May Day observation around the world

May Day (aka Labo[u]r Day or Worker's Day) is observed in different countries on different days. Quite funny, isn't it?! While in some countries, it's observed unofficially, in others it's not observed at all! In some western countries, governments smell 'rats' (suspect hands of socialists or communists) behind bringing out processions... Some countries even try to quash any attempt to gather in public like Turkey did this year. Let's see some pictures of this day...


What are they saying?
What? "Workers! Looking For Work!" ??? Fix-up your placards...

Let's find out...
It all started with this simple demand! And it was realized finally!!
Express your gratitude to these folks!
Although Labor Movement started in Chicago but was first observed in New York in 1882

What's so happy about this day? Doesn't match up...

Good on you, Indonesians! Didn't forgot to offer prayer amid mass-gathering...

Like they say, 'Machine has got a mind of its own'. Armed with artificial intelligence, 'android robots' are now demanding for Labor Day break!

Having smoko-fun while using child labor?! Shame on you...
When Labo[u]r Day is mistaken for a woman's thing! You get the point...
