올해부터 오는 5월 1일 노동절(구 노동자의 날)이 법정공휴일이 돼 공무원 포함 모든 근로자가 쉬게 된다.
6일 오전 제14회 국무회의에서 기존 민간분야에 한해 휴일로 적용되던 노동절이 공공분야 노동자도 적용받을 수 있도록 공휴일로 지정하는 ‘공휴일에 관한 법률 일부개정 법률공포안’이 심의·의결했다.
노동절은 지난 1963년 ‘근로자의 날 제정에 관한 법률’에 따라 근로자의 날로 정해졌으나 근로기준법을 적용받지 않는 공무원 등은 쉴 수 없었다.

Starting this year, May 1st, Labor Day (formerly Workers' Day), will become a statutory public holiday, allowing all workers, including civil servants, to take the day off.
At the 14th Cabinet meeting held on the morning of the 6th, the "Promulgation Bill for Partial Amendment to the Public Holidays Act" was deliberated and approved. This bill designates Labor Day as a public holiday to extend its benefits to public sector workers, whereas previously it was a holiday limited to the private sector.
Labor Day was established as Workers' Day in 1963 under the "Act on the Establishment of Workers' Day," but public officials and others not subject to the Labor Standards Act were not allowed to take the day off.
