International Worker's Day
International Worker's Day
On May 1, many countries of the world celebrate an international holiday - International Workers Day (Spring and Labor Day), which was originally called the International Workers' Solidarity Day.
On May 1, 1886, American workers organized a strike, demanding an 8-hour working day. The strike and the accompanying demonstration ended in a bloody clash with the police.
In July 1889, the Paris Congress of the Second International, in memory of the workers' speech in Chicago, decided to hold annual demonstrations on May 1.

For the first time the day of international workers' solidarity was marked in 1890 in Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, the USA, Norway, France, Sweden and some other countries.
For a long time the holiday was a symbol of irreconcilable class struggle, had a "political color" and was marked by demonstrations decorated with portraits of political figures, leaders of production, slogans, appeals, posters and diagrams about achievements in this or that branch of the national economy, science and culture.
But gradually this context was lost.
Today this holiday is celebrated in 142 countries and territories of the world on May 1 or the first Monday in May.
For a number of countries, the tradition of collecting people under the banners of trade unions has still been preserved, but in most states this is still not a political holiday, namely Labor Day, a bright spring holiday, when folk festivities, performances of artists, fairs, peaceful processions and many entertainment events are organized.
And for someone it's just another day off, during which you can just relax or spend time with your family.
By the way, in some countries Labor Day is celebrated at a different time - they are, for example, the USA and Japan.
