Labor Day

Yesterday was 1st of May which is called labor day. I've seen that every year on this day most of the labors don't go to work, but I found the reason of calling this day just yesterday.

The story happened on 21 April 1986. On this day a great number of Australian workers stopped working and marched in the streets of Melbourne and demanded 8 hours of work. Actually they wanted 8 hours for rest and 8 hours for recreation. Their protests resulted in success and they were the first group in the world who start working just 8 hours a day.

Poor labors of Iran marched yesterday too. But you know what their main request was? They were saying that we will work as much as we are ordered!!! But we just want to have a confidence that next month we still have our job. The temporary contracts which is a usual one in Iran has killed all their hopes for the future. It's a result of respecting to all jobs equally!!!!!!!

oh you people know about this day,, its amazing for me... bcoz

99% of Iranians dont know about what is the Greek date today. :D
then how come they know Today its 1st May....

But i got my answer... you know what....

atleast all Iranians know there should be a HOLIDAY.. LOLZzzzz

and sencond thing I really agree with you about the contract JOBs. but it really enhance the abilities of an employee. in normal Govt Jobs.. (I dont know about Iran but in Pakistan)most of the people never want to improve themselves. they know they have job.. so keep on running as it is.. but in Contract Jobs.. you have to Show your abilities.. and if you are capble,,, no body would like to lose you.. im right...?

thank you Asim for your consideration.
I agree you. I think this laziness has some place in every eastern nationalities, but accept that for our labors who are working in a very rich country( sitting on oils) , it's so unfair to don't have any bright future.
There are some other ways to improve their skills ,but by fining them from their jobs maybe you are ruining their families(a great detriment for a country).see ,in every situations some minimoms are required.
