Strengthening the demand for employment on May Day
Civilization has advanced through the blows of the worker’s hammer. While it is true that one becomes a worker through labor, the term “worker” typically conjures the image of an industrial laborer. Yet, the scope of working people is far broader, because every human being is involved in some form of work, and every task requires labor. In that sense, all people on earth could be considered workers. From a Marxist perspective, the working class is the most modern class, destined to lead the revolution. Karl Marx gave special status to factory workers as a revolutionary class—liberated from feudal bondage, yet united under one roof and one collective interest within the factory system.

In honour of their sacrifice, countries across the world, including Bangladesh, observe this day as a symbol of the fight for workers’ rights. Every year, Bangladesh observes the day with due respect, declaring it a public holiday. The media runs special reports, and various events are held to discuss workers' issues. But what is the actual condition of workers in Bangladesh?
