About This Trend

メーデー (May Day) is an annual international event held on May 1st, primarily focusing on labor rights and workers' issues. It originated in Japan in 1920, was interrupted during World War II, and resumed in 1946, becoming a significant event for labor movements.

The trend is currently active due to the 96th anniversary of May Day in Japan, with ongoing discussions about workers' rights, wages, and working conditions. Recent events include protests against rising living costs and critiques of government policies, highlighting the ongoing relevance of labor advocacy in contemporary society. .
