May 1 Labor Day

Labor Day in Mexico

May 1

May 1 is Labor Day in Mexico and commemorates the Mexican workers’ union movement and means no government office is open. There are no banks, postal services, and many restaurants close as well. Labor Day isn’t always about a day off but has been used as a time to peacefully protest issues that might arise with a particular employer or employees work.  Several labor unions unite together in protest to get better treatment, health benefits and working conditions.

In Cabo most restaurants and  shops remain open.  Local people enjoy their day off by going to one of the beautiful beaches and being with family and friends.
