That day, May 1, is also the traditional European Spring holiday of   May Day . Therefore, May 1 is a national   public holiday   in more than 80 countries, but in only some of those countries is the public holiday officially known as   Labor Day   or some similar variant. In the other countries, the public holiday marks the Spring festival of May Day. Further, still other countries celebrate a  Labour Day  unrelated to International Workers' Day and on other dates significant to the labour movement in that country, such as the  Labor Day  in the  United States  which is on the first Monday of September. May 1 was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day b
