In the UK we get the first Monday in May instead which has kind of a wink-wink nudge-nudge sort of relationship to IWD (it was added as a UK wide bank holiday by a Labour government back when Labour was more traditionally socialist but it was also an existing bank holiday in Scotland celebrating Beltane so there was some plausible deniability that it was just bringing bank holidays across the countries more into line with each other)
Always said the UK was in between Europe and the US in its policies.
Also a reason why they don’t belong in the EU.
Even if that is horribly right-wing in itself.
You guys don’t have holiday on may day?
