Happy Labour Day 2023

Siam Spa will be close on Monday, Sept 4th, 2023 for Labour Day.

Resuming Tuesday, Sept 5th, 2023 at 10 am.- 8 pm.

Labour Day has a colourful history in the small island territory of Bermuda. From early in its history, slavery was a problem. But the abolition of slavery and the slave trade in 1834 did not end unfair labour practices and economic discrimination.

For decades, unfair working conditions and other discriminatory practices led to tensions and even riots in Bermuda. The reforms that finally ended these disparities are associated with Labour Day and are celebrated by this holiday. Current problems are also addressed, including the fact that locals are losing out on many job opportunities to non-residents.

On Labour Day in Bermuda, there are marches, parades, road races, concerts, foods stalls, cultural exhibits, and other special events. Politicians are also keen to give public speeches related to equality and worker rights on this day.
