The struggle to have eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight
hours for rest was the origin of International Workers’ Day, which is also referred to
as May Day or Labor Day. The celebration commemorates the Haymarket Massacre
in Chicago in 1886, when Chicago police shoot workers who were striking to
establish the eight-hour day. Many workers died in the event. Historically, the first
congress of the Second International, which was an organization of socialist and labor
parties formed in Paris on July 14, 1889, called for international demonstrations on
the 1890 anniversary of the Chicago protests. In 1891, the Second International
recognized May Day as an annual event. In 1904, Social Democratic Party
organizations and trade unions of all countries were called on to demonstrate actively
on May First to establish eight hours of work a day and to get workers' rights. Unions
of all countries were urged to go on strike on May 1, wherever it is possible without
injury to the workers.
Most countries celebrate International Workers' Day on May 1 st, except in the
United States and Canada, where Labor Day is held in September. Millions of
working people and their labor unions, all over the world, organize street
demonstrations and street marches. Several countries celebrate the day with parades,
shows and other patriotic and labor-oriented events.
