Emazweni amaningi omhlaba i Usuku Lomsebenzi UMeyi 1, nokho eCanada kukhunjulwa uMsombuluko wokuqala kuSepthemba unyaka nonyaka.
Umsuka woSuku Lwabasebenzi eCanada usukela emuva kuDisemba 1872, lapho kwahlelwa imashi yokuxhasa isiteleka semboni ye-letterpress yaseToronto yesisebenzi esinamahora angama-58 omsebenzi evikini lokusebenza.
Ngale ndlela, i-Union of Typographers, eyayitelekele kusukela ngoMashi 25, yahlela ukukhubazeka okwadala ukuthi amaphoyisa abophe abaholi abangama-24 be-Union of Typographers. Bese kuthi ezinye izinyunyana eziyisikhombisa zikhombise e-Ottawa, nokwenze ukuthi uNdunankulu waseCanada uSir John A. Macdonald athembise ukuqeda le mithetho emayelana nezinyunyana.
Kuze kube iPhalamende lishaya umthetho wezinyunyana ngoJuni 14 wonyaka olandelayo, futhi kungekudala zonke izinyunyana zafuna amahora angama-54 ngesonto lokusebenza. NgoJulayi 23, 1894, uNdunankulu waseCanada uJohn Thompson kanye nohulumeni wakhe bagunyaza uSuku Lwabasebenzi ukuba lugujwe ngoSepthemba, iholide elisemthethweni.
Ngenkathi imibuthano yoSuku Lwezabasebenzi namapikiniki ehlelwe yizinyunyana, abantu abaningi baseCanada banamapikiniki, imibukiso yeziqhumane, imisebenzi yamanzi, nemicimbi yobuciko yomphakathi. Njengoba unyaka omusha wesikole uvame ukuqala ngemuva koSuku Lwabasebenzi, imindeni enezingane ezifunda isikole iyithatha njengethuba lokugcina lokuhamba ngaphambi kokuphela kwehlobo.
Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi kunombukiso woSuku Lwabasebenzi eGrand Falls-Windsor, eNewfoundland, owaqala ngo-1910 futhi uyaqhubeka nanamuhla, lapho imigubho iqhubeka khona izinsuku ezintathu nombukiso woSuku Lwabasebenzi ngoMsombuluko.
