The first nuclei of working class in Ecuador appear only in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth. But their precarious situation reminded the workers of the central capitalist countries. And in Ecuador they began the struggle for better wages, reducing hours and conquer minimum labor rights.
To mark the centenary of the First Cry of Independence, August 10, 1909 the First Congress was held Ecuadorian Workers. In 1911, at the initiative of the Association of Suppliers Market Guayaquil, it was commemorated for the first time on 1. May, the Ecuadorian workers continued remembering in the following years. The government of Leonidas Plaza Gutiérrez, by decree of April 23, 1915, consecrated "May Day each year holiday for the workers of Ecuador". The following year (1916) was decreed in the country the 8-hour day, but was systematically circumvented. There were protests, strikes and demands of the Ecuadorian working class not only to advance the conquest of their rights, but also to achieve respect and generalization of the 8-hour day. In Guayaquil, the workers' strike called for these purposes was suppressed on 15 November 1922 with a shocking massacre of workers.
Recognizing that trajectory of struggles of incipient Ecuadorian proletariat, the July Revolution of 1925, as well as modernizing the State, institutionalized care for the working classes by creating the Ministry of Social Welfare and Labour, the dePensiones Box, issuing the first laws labor and even the introduction of income tax, which were excluded classes asalariadas.Tras those early efforts, in 1938 the new Labour Code, which recognized the fundamental principles of protecting workers and their basic guarantees was issued rights.
In later decades new institutions for the protection and rights joined the working classes of Ecuador. He grew the idea that economic development would never be enough without creating welfare conditions for the national majority.
However, the resistance of concentrators kinds of economic power failed to reverse the historical legacy of marginalization, poverty, misery, unemployment, underemployment, the plight of the employed and the scandalous concentration of wealth in minority dominant.

LABOR DAY IN CANADA
Labor Day in Canada is celebrated on the first Monday in September in Canada since 1880. The origins of Labor Day in Canada dates back to April 14, 1872 when the parade was organized in support of the Toronto Typographical Union strike for a job 58 hours per week.
The Toronto Trades Assembly (TTA) called its 27 unions to demonstrate in support of the Typographical Union who had been on strike since March 25. George Brown, Canadian politician and editor of the Toronto Globe hit back at his striking employees, pressing the police in charge of the Typographical Union of "conspiracy. "Although the laws criminalizing union activity were outdated and had already been abolished in Britain, they were still on the books in Canada and police arrested 24 leaders of the Typographical Union.
Labour leaders I decided to call another similar demonstration on September 3 to protest the arrests. Seven unions marched in Ottawa, prompting the promise of Canadian Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald to repeal the "barbarism", the anti-union laws until Parliament passed the law on trade unions on 14 June of the year next, and soon all unions were demanding work 54 hours a week.
On July 23, 1894, Canadian Prime Minister John Thompson and his government made Labor Day, to be held in September, an official holiday. In the United States, the New York parade became an annual event that year, and in 1894 was adopted by US President Grover Cleveland to compete with the International Workers' Day (May).
TRADITIONS AND ACTIVITIES

The Battle of May 24. THE BATTLE OF PICHINCHA May 24, 1822
It was the battle of liberation from Spanish rule. A historic moment for the republic of Ecuador. History points to Marshal Antonio Jose de Sucre as the great manager of the Battle of Pichincha.
After the release of Guayaquil on October 9, 1820, the country enters a deep overhaul of its identity and after two failed attempts to free themselves from oppression, the great battle occurs on the slopes of Pichincha volcano, hence history remembers that episode as the Battle of Pichincha.
It was in 1822, where Sucre decides to face the Spanish troops with 1,700 men over the days became 3000 thanks to San Martin.
The big day was coming, it was the early morning of May 23 when troops silently run the Pichincha to plan what would be the battle of freedom and triumph.
After setbacks and hours of waiting, on May 24 the battle under a blazing sun occurs. Despite the casualties, the victorious soldiers were climbing the summit of the volcano. Once at the top they cried victory and thus one of the most memorable in the history of Ecuador days devoted.
May 24 is considered a civic date of the heroes who gave their lives for freedom. With the Battle of Pichincha, Ecuador political independence that marked the beginning of the Republican and independent life of Ecuador was sealed.
On May 25, Sucre entered with his army to Quito where he announced the surrender of the Spanish troops established in the territory that the government of Colombia called "Department of Quito", considering it as an integral part of the Republic of Colombia since its inception, the December 17, 1819.
This is not one of the most dazzling of local festivals, but
it is one of national pride. On the 24th of May, both the military and many
civilians do their utmost to put on a public display of national pride. The
result is definitely worth seeing as parades, airplane shows and other
activities all convey a strong sense of Ecuadorian nationalism. Of course, the
best activities take place at Pichincha volcano so if you really want to get a
good idea of festival activities then Pichincha is the one of best places to
visit.

About Independence Day
In 1775, people in New England began fighting the British
for their independence. On July 2, 1776, the Congress secretly voted for
independence from Great Britain. Two days later, on July 4, 1776, the final
wording of the Declaration of Independence was approved, and the document was
published. The first public reading of the Declaration of Independence was on
July 8, 1776. Delegates began to sign the Declaration of Independence on August
2, 1776. In 1870, Independence Day was made an unpaid holiday for federal
employees. In 1941, it became a paid holiday for them.
The first description of how Independence Day would be
celebrated was in a letter from John Adams to his wife Abigail on July 3, 1776.
He described "pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires, and illuminations" throughout the United States. However, the
term "Independence Day" was not used until 1791.
Interestingly, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, both signers
of the Declaration of Independence and presidents of the United States, died on
July 4, 1826 - exactly 50 years after the adoption of the declaration. It is
also important to note that Native Americans lived in the country and each
tribe had its own nation and government prior to the European settlers.

ORIGIN “Holy Week” is a predominantly Catholic and Christian festivity, introduced to Ecuador by the Spanish conquerors under the strong influence of the Catholic clerics. Holy Week is a moveable feast, varying from year to year but always six weeks after Carnival and celebrates the Biblical episode in which Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert, while frequently being tempted by the Devil. Beginning with Palm Sunday, which recalls the entrance of Jesus to Jerusalem decked with palms and olive leaves while masses of followers hailed and praised his Glory, Holy Week ends the following Sunday, Easter Sunday, which commemorates the resurrection of Jesus after his crucifixion and death. This celebration is a pageant of symbols and rituals related to the biblical stories about that decisive week in the life of Jesus, when, after his triumphant arrival in Jerusalem and hailed as the Son of God, he was persecuted by the Romans, betrayed by one of his own disciples, and then judged and condemned to death on the Cross. Within a few days, Jesus had been converted from the human embodiment of God to a villain condemned to a gruesome death. During that same week, Jesus initiated the Holy Eucharist during his last supper with his apostles. After his martyrdom and death on Passion Friday and a somber silence during Saturday, on Sunday a number of Jesus’ disciples visited the tomb where he had been buried, only to find that the heavy stone sealing the entrance had been removed and the tomb empty. Shortly afterwards, while puzzling over what could have happened, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalena and asked her to tell the disciples that, fulfilling the biblical prophecies, he had been resurrected and was about to join His Father in Heaven. This is Easter Sunday. Holy Week is celebrated between February and March, with its exact date determined by the phases of moon. Holy Friday (also known as Good Friday or Passion Friday), must always coincide with a period of full moon. The Carnival fiestas are held 40 days earlier. Holy Week is celebrated in a variety of ways throughout predominantly Catholic Ecuador. Most events take place in religious temples but large outpourings of popular faith are manifested in events such as the processions, described below. The best venues to witness these events are the cities of Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca, though various popular theatrical representations are held in several smaller cities and towns in the country’s regions, recalling the biblical episodes of that special week.

TRADITIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Holy Week starts with
Palm Sunday. On this day, nearly every Ecuadorian city and village holds open
air masses in parks and squares to which the faithful attend carrying
delicately arranged palms in an assortment of shapes and sizes. The priests
emphasize the spiritual values of this week and the importance of remembering
the teachings of Jesus Christ.
In Quito, on Holy Wednesday, the city’s
magnificent Metropolitan Cathedral is the venue for a ceremony harking back to
ancient times, possibly based on the practices of the earlier Christians. The
most senior clerics, dressed in black and adorned in long capes, kneel in front
of the Archbishop who moves a giant black flag over their heads. This ritual is
a reminder of the imminence of death, while the triumphant flag alludes to the
promise of Resurrection. Deeply symbolic, this ritual attracts locals and
visitors alike, who observe in awe this ceremony which is now only celebrated
in Quito and Seville (Spain) in the entire Christian world.
Throughout the entire week, Quito and a few other
cities host religious and classical music concerts performed in and around the
splendid colonial temples and their surroundings or inner squares, as well as
in other public areas. Several convents and monasteries open their doors to the
public and exhibit of some of the treasures of religious art which they
preserve inside while various museums extend their opening hours. The religious
celebrations also form an important element of the local culture.
On Maundy Thursday, the Catholic temples
commemorate the Last Supper, in remembrance of the last meal shared by Jesus
with his disciples in which he broke bread with each of them, telling them to
“take and eat of it, for this is my body”, thus instituting Holy Communion. On
this day, the Pope at Saint Peter’s Cathedral as well as bishops in every city
cleanse the feet of the very poor and indigent in a gesture of humbleness,
another reminder of the preachings of Jesus.
On Holy Friday, when the passion and death of
Jesus are recalled, massive processions fill the streets of Quito and
Guayaquil, converting the events into immense expressions of popular faith and
religiousness. In Quito, the Procession of the statue “Jesus the Great Power”,
a much venerated sculpture, is borne from the imposing and historic church and
square of San Francisco by the chanting faithful through the city’s colonial
center accompanied by acts of faith, prior to returning to San Francisco again.
A highlight of this procession are the
“cucuruchos”, whose origins lie in the ancestral rites of southern Spain.
Mostly men and of all ages, their purple gowns cover their faces and culminate
in foot-high pointed “bonnets”. Only their eyes can be seen. Many walk
barefoot, their feet shackled with burdensome chains, while bearing heavy
wooden crosses, crowns of thorns and lashing their naked torsos with “ortiga”
(stinging nettles). Forming part of the procession are also the “Veronicas”.
Dressed as in biblical times, these women represent their predecessors who, according
to the biblical description, passed a blood and sweat soaked cloth over Jesus’
face as he made his way to Mount Calvary where he would be crucified.
The procession consists of thousands of the
faithful, of all ages and social backgrounds, and is closely followed by
admiring local and foreign visitors anxious to catch a glimpse of this unique
expression of faith and its very special symbols, accompanied by a backdrop of
enthusiastic religious chanting, intoned with great devotion.
After a Saturday of meditation and silence, Easter
Sunday sees massive open air masses celebrated with passionate demonstrations
of joy for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Quito, Holy Week is
traditionally closed on Easter Sunday afternoon, at sunset, with the
magnificent and beautifully synchronized “Concert of Bells”. The city’s air
resonates to the sound of the giant brass bells of over 50 churches, convents
and monasteries in Quito’s Colonial Center, pealing in an authentic concert of
joyful sounds, frequently followed by a firework display against the background
of the churches, buildings and historic monuments with their spectacularly
illuminated facades, towers, balconies and domes.
