What is Labour Day?
Labour Day in Australia is a public holiday commemorating the granting of an eight-hour work day in the country. The history of Australian working conditions spans more than a century. During the 1800s, Australians were subjected to unfair labour practices such as 12-hour shifts and 6 days of work weekly. This day celebrates those who fought for fair & decent employment rights and recognises the contributions of workers to the country's overall development.
