Another long weekend

[NewsWhore]

The Ministry of Labor has moved the celebration of May Day, the International Workers' Day, from 1 May, a Sunday, to 2 May, a Monday. According to a bulletin from the General Directorate of Labor, they are allowed to move the holidays in accordance with Law 139-97. Usually holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday are not changed. But this year the change in the holiday will allow workers to enjoy a long weekend and at the same time permit the labor unions to organize marches and demonstrations on 2 May, which will be a holiday. Every year the Ministry of Labor publishes a calendar of public holidays in national newspapers like El Nuevo Diario.
