Honestly it’s kinda weird to use the same day as everyone else. It should be a date relevant to workers in that country

Why not two holidays?

Good luck getting our corporate overlords to allow that. They already are constantly trying to cancel some holidays

It’s the only international holiday not bound to any religion( except Jan 1). It unites people which is nice

no. the entire point is international solidarity between the working class. absolutely not, America and the anglo colonizer nations use a different date to divide and conquer, why would you aid them in their goals by just further balkanizing the movement?

The chart is misleading. The UK celebrates Labour Day on May 1st. There is also another different holiday on that date though, Mayday. This does not stop Labour Day also being organised and celebrated across the country on that date though.
