Labour day.

 Hello welcome back to my blog.

This Monday it will be a holiday it will be labour day here are some cool facts about labour day.

Why do we have labour?

In New Zealand, Labour Day is a public holiday held on the fourth Monday in October. Its origins are traced back to the eight-hour working day movement that arose in the newly founded Wellington colony in 1840, primarily because of carpenter Samuel Parnell's refusal to work more than eight hours a day.

what will you do?

I'm going to stay home and properly go out and do some pig hunting.

will it be good for your wellbing?

Yes.

    Kia Ora Isabella,
    Good to read your post about Labour Day. You've included interesting information about the origins of the eight hour day. Did Samuel Parnell go hunting?
