Labour Day, a public holiday here in Trinidad and Tobago, falls on 19 June, compared to other countries around the world. This date was chosen to commemorate the Fyzabad Labour uprising which happened in 1937. This event sparked the modern day trade union movement in Trinidad and Tobago.❧✿❧
You've heard about the Monday Blues well this is Monday WRites (musing on the definition here of rite, as any customary observance for eg the rite of afternoon tea).
Here in T&T, we are still in a state of emergency and locked down in trying to 'flatten the curve' Vaccinations are continuing

I read in June 2017. 'The Chieftain's Carnival And Other Stories' written by Michael Anthony. One of the short stories - 'Butler on the Road' is about the struggle prior to this holiday, of Fyzabad and the hero, Tubal Uriah Buzz Butler .
