May Day or international workers' day is observed on May I all over the world

people to establish an eight-hour workday. It is a public holiday in almost all the
countries of the world. Science the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th
centuries in Europe and the US, the workers in mills and factories had been
working a long shift, fourteen or even more hours a day. On May 1" in 1886,
inspired by the trade unions, half of the workers at the sicCormick Harvesting
Mechine Company in Chicago went
nt on strike demanding an eight-hour workday.
Two days later, a workers' rally was held near the McCormick Harvesting
Mechine 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 not 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 1, 1886 are
a reminder that workers will continue to be exploited until they stand up and
speak out to gain better working conditions, better pay and better lives.
