History of Labour Day in Egypt
Labour Day in Egypt, also known as International Workers’ Day, has its roots in the labour movement that emerged in the late 19th century. The first Labour Day celebrations in Egypt were held in 1924, organized by the Egyptian Trade Union Federation.
During the early years of the 20th century, Egyptian workers began to organize and form unions to demand better working conditions and higher wages. In 1920, the first Egyptian trade union was established, and by the mid-1920s, there were dozens of unions representing workers in various industries.
On May 1, 1924, the Egyptian Trade Union Federation organized a large rally in Cairo to celebrate Labour Day. Thousands of workers marched through the streets, demanding better working conditions, higher wages, and greater job security. The rally was a huge success, and it marked the beginning of an annual tradition that continues to this day.
Over the years, Labour Day in Egypt has become an important holiday for workers and their families. It is a day to celebrate the achievements of the labour movement and to reflect on the ongoing struggle for workers’ rights. In recent years, there have been calls to expand the holiday to include more recognition of the contributions of women workers and to address issues such as unemployment and social inequality.
