Caseara City Council congratulates Labor Day

On this May 1st holiday, Labor Day, the Caseara City Council congratulated the workers. The nine parliamentarians, led by President Clebinho Cavalcante (UB), did not forget the importance of the working class contribution.

Labor Day emerged as a result of the workers' strike that took place in Chicago, in the United States, on May 1, 1886. This episode had as its motto the fight for the improvement of working conditions. In Brazil, Labor Day was established during the government of Artur Bernardes, in 1925.

Before that, in 1917, a general strike took place in São Paulo. On May 1, 1940, Getúlio Vargas instituted the minimum wage in the country and, on the same day, in 1941, the date was used to mark the creation of the Labor Court. On May 1, 1943, the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) was announced in the country.
