We have Summer Bank Holiday though, which is the last Monday of August so a week before the US Labor Day. (The online strip appears a week after the newspaper)
There are two public holidays in May – the first monday (May Day – maypole dancing etc, if it’s also ‘international workers day’ that’s coincidental or re-use of an existing traditional holiday date, I think) and the last Monday, which was originally the movable feast of Whitsun but fixed in 1971. This coincides with US Memorial Day.
