MaY DaY is a maY 01 cerebration with a long and Varied history,dating back Millennia.........
In the 19th Century, May DaY took on a New meaning, as an International Workers' DaY grew out of the 19th Century Labour Movement for Workers Right and Eight-- hour working in the united States.
Since the industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th Centuries in Europe and the US,A, the Workers in Mills and Factories had been a Long Shift, Fourteen or even more hours a DaY.
On May 01 /1st 1886, inspired by the Trade Unions, half of the Workers at the Mccormick Harvesting Machine Company in Chicago went on strike demanding an eight -- hour workday.Two days later, a workers Rally was held near the Mccormick Harvesting Machine Company and about 6000 Workers joined it.The Rally was addressed by the Labour Leaders. They urged the workers to Stand together, to go on with their struggle and to give in to their Bosses. At one point of the Rally, Some Strikebreakers started leaving the meeting place.The strikers went down the Street to bring them back.
Suddenly about 200
Policemen attacked them with Clubs and Revolvers.One striker was killed instantly, five or six others were seriously wounded and many others were injured .
The events of MaY 01,1886 are a reminder that workers will continue to be exploited until the stand up and speak out to gain better working conditions, better pay and better Lives.
