Banks are closed today due to the transfer of the May Day holiday

On May 1, as workers in many parts of the world enjoy a day off, Google's latest Doodle celebrates the history of Labor Day, also known as International Workers' Day.

The holiday originated in the late 19th century during the Industrial Revolution in the US and was established by the labor movement, which fought for the regulation of American work schedules and other worker rights.

International Workers' Day usually takes place every year on May Day.

Some countries celebrate Labour Day on a different date which is significant to them, for example the United States opt for the first Monday in September.

The day has been recognised since the late 19th century, mainly thanks to the rise of trade unions.
