Day Workers
The International Workers' Day or May Day is the celebration par excellence of the world labor movement.
Since its establishment in most countries (though considering holiday was delayed in many cases) by agreement of the Socialist Workers' Congress of the Second International, held in Paris in 1889, is a day of struggle and a tribute to the Martyrs of Chicago. These union anarchists were executed in the United States for its participation in the days of struggle for the achievement of the day eight-hour work, which originated in the strike that began on May 1, 1886 and its peak three days later, on May 4 in the Revolt of Haymarket. Today is a feast of fight for the rights of workers in general, is celebrated in many countries. Interestingly, in the United States do not celebrate this anniversary. Instead Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September since 1882 in a parade held in New York and organized by the Noble Order of the Knights of Labor (Knights of Labor, in English). President Grover Cleveland, hosted the celebration in September by fear that the May date would strengthen the socialist movement in the United States.
