patron of workers

He is our patron of workers.

In Malta, 1 May is an official public holiday celebrated as Workers' Day together with the religious feast of St. Joseph (Patron of Workers).

This date counteracts May Day (International Workers' Day), a union, workers', and socialists' holiday commemorating the Haymarket affair in Chicago, and reflects Joseph's status as what many Catholics and other Christians consider the "patron of workers" and "model of workers."
