"The celebration of Labour Day has its origins in the eight hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest. On 21 April 1856 Stonemasons and building workers on building sites around Melbourne, Australia, stopped work and marched from the University of Melbourne to Parliament House to achieve an eight hour day. Their direct action protest was a success, and they are noted as the first organized workers in the world to achieve an eight hour day with no loss of pay, which subsequently inspired the celebration of Labour Day and May Day."
yeah right. more like 13 hours of work, 6 hours of sleep, 5 hours for meals, making coffee, looking for food to eat, playing guitar, feeding hamster, watching random chinese comedy, smsing, tying and retying hair.
