The annual March 8 women's Day is coming. I believe many people will ask whether women's Day is a legal holiday? Women's Day is a special holiday for women, will it be a holiday? Let's have a look with Xiaobian. Generally speaking, enterprises and institutions will have a half day off, but the general private enterprises may not have a holiday.
Is women's day a legal holiday?
Women's Day is not a legal holiday, but a holiday for some citizens. According to the national annual and Memorial Day holiday measures, women have half a day off on women's Day (March 8).
Is March 8th holiday in 2018?
According to the regulations on women's Day holidays stipulated in the national annual and Memorial Day holidays, women are entitled to a half day holiday on this day. However, it seems that enterprises do not have a strong sense of holidays for some citizens. It is understood that the labor law clearly points out that employers should arrange workers' holidays in accordance with the law in other holidays stipulated by laws and regulations such as the March 8th Festival. If workers are arranged to work on statutory holidays, they shall pay wages no less than 300% of their wages.
The origin of women's Day
International working women's Day (IWD) is the United Nations women's rights and interests and international peace day. In China, IWD is also called international women's day, 38 women's day and 38 women's day.
It has been more than 100 years since March 8, 1909, when women marched for equality between men and women in Chicago. It is a festival set up on March 8 every year to celebrate Women's important contributions and achievements in economic, political and social fields. At the same time, it is also to commemorate the death of more than 140 female workers in the triangle underwear factory fire in New York in 1911.
Conclusion: in order to strive for equality between men and women, women's Day is just one of the representatives. After more than 100 years of efforts, more and more women have gone out of their homes and can live independently in this society. Women don't have to rely on anyone, but they can live freely in this world. Although we have paid a lot, it is worth seeing the blue sky outside.
