May 1 is celebrated in honor of the victims of the May 1 to 4, 1886 strike in Chicago, in order to introduce an 8-hour working day. Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck. The organizers of the strike were later taken to court, and four of them were executed.
In honor of the victims of the Chicago strike, the Second International at its founding congress in 1889 issued a declaration calling on workers around the world to demonstrate on May 1 to improve their position. Demonstrations have traditionally been held every year on May 1 in several countries around the world to mark International Labor Day.
In my country, a common image for this day is a group of friends, meadow and barbecue. Many times it was even difficult to find empty space. This year we miss those days due the Corona pandemic.
Let’s share or tell what was the usual picture in your city for this day
The modern world forgets the meaning of such days, the younger generations do not know at all why May Day is celebrated, it is important to gather on the grill and hang out.
Therefore, in honor of Labor Day, enjoy celebrating Labor Day!
