Workers’ Memorial Day remember individuals who died at the office and to allow it to be safer for that living, and also to promote safer working conditions.This date was selected since it is the anniversary from the Work Safety and health Act in the united states and remember your day of the construction accident in Connecticut that stated 28 lives.

It's for workers' rights and to commemorate the people who fought for us to have an eight hour working day.

This is from an old but interesting article -

In the late 19th Century, May Day became associated with the organised labour movement.

This was a time when trade unions were growing in strength and demanding fairer conditions, higher wages and limits on the working day. In 1889, an international Socialists meeting in Paris voted to make May Day a memorial to the struggle of working people throughout the world. The date was chosen in honour of four men who died three years earlier trying to further workers' rights in the US.

May Day became a major holiday in the Soviet Union and other Communist countries.

The traditional workers' holiday, recognised as International Labour Day by the United Nations, has evolved into a day of protests for a raft of political and social causes.
