During the communism, after WW2 it was one of the most important national holidays.\u00a0 On this day marches took place, participation in them was obligatory or encouraged by the possibilty to buy attractive goods difficult to find in Poland in those times. The marches were so much hated that they practically disappeared after the fall of communism.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">After 1989 manifestations have still taken place every year and have been organised by left-wing parties and workers\u2019 organisations. Sometimes clashes of extreme right- wing organisations with the demonstrators take place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The day is free from work and all the students enjoy it primarily for that reason.\u00a0 They can not remember the marches or what they looked like, it is their parents and grandparents who remember them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Here is a great Labour Day
