Description

Two men fish contentedly from a dinghy; one of them asks the other what he likes most about Labour Day - the long weekend or the short working week. Labour Day is on the 4th Monday in October which this year means 23rd October. Labour Day commemorates the struggle for an eight-hour working day. New Zealand workers were among the first in the world to claim this right when, in 1840, the carpenter Samuel Parnell won an eight-hour day in Wellington. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
