Chinavasion Celebrates May Day
Workers the world over, it’s time to lay down your tools and take a well-earned day off. May 1st, Labour Day, May Day, the day of the worker will be tomorrow and it’s time for everybody everywhere to give themselves a pat on the back for a job well done.
On May the first workers everywhere will down tools to celebrate the efforts of activists and union representatives the world over to make the world a better place for those who work and their families and communities.
While May the first is marked to celebrate the start of the 40 hour working week in many countries the day has deeper roots with other countries still taking part in Christian and pagan rituals like the maypole (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Day).
In China, since 2001, The international day of the worker was part of a longer holiday, commonly called a golden week.
Companies and workers would take seven days off, but would often have to work three extra days to make up for their ‘holiday.’
This changed this year as Beijing has tried to bring public holidays more in tune with traditional holidays like Qin Ming and the Moon Festival.
Chinavasion staff will be amongst those commemorating all of the brave individuals who have worked to gain rights for their fellow workers tomorrow and as a result those requiring customer support may experience some delays.
Someone will be on-site for emergencies but most enquiries will be answered on Friday when normal working hours resume.
