Nepal Honours Workers on International Labour Day with Rallies and Celebrations

Today, Nepal joins the world in observing International Labour Day, a heartfelt tribute to the struggles and triumphs of workers everywhere. This special day honours the historic fight of labourers who secured the right to an eight-hour workday, an achievement that laid the foundation for the rights and dignity many workers enjoy today.

Across the country, labour unions and workers’ groups are marking the occasion with rallies, gatherings, and celebrations. These events are more than just tradition, they are a powerful reminder of the strength, resilience, and unity of working people.

In Kathmandu, the Nepal Trade Union Congress is holding a rally this morning, bringing together workers from various sectors to show solidarity and raise their voices for better working conditions and justice.

Likewise, the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions is organizing an assembly in the capital, where workers will come together not only to celebrate their victories but also to reflect on the challenges that still remain.

Labour Day in Nepal is a time of pride, emotion, and purpose, a moment to honour the hands that build, the hearts that endure, and the spirit that never gives up.
