May Day or International Workers Day is observed on May 1 all over the world today to
commemorate the historical struggle and sacrifices of the working people to establish an eight-hour
workday. It is a public holiday in almost all the countries of the world, Since 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 1st in 1886 , inspired by
the trade unions ,half of the workers at the McCormick Harvester Company in Chicago went on
strike demanding an eight-hour workday. Two days later, a workers rally was held near the
McCormick Harvester Company and about 6000 workers had 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. Just at this moment some strike breakers 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 of them were badly injured, The events of May 1,1886 is 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 .
