HAPPY MAY DAY

1st May is an internationally observed as May Day. The Day is observed to commemorate the historic struggle of working people. The day is observed is most of the countries of the world. The day has a historical background. The privileges that the worker enjoy today a minimum wage, safety laws and eight-hour workday came out for the sacrifice of the worker in 1886. On may 03, 1886 police fired on a crowd of strikers of the McCormick harvest machine Company.
Chicago, at this least one striker, was killed five or six others were seriously wounded an undetermined number was injured. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution people worked very long shifts lasting up to fourteen or even more hours a day. this is why in the 1880s a movement calling for an eight-hour workday began among the workers. If the workers did not stand up and demand their right, they would continue to exploit. So, the day is of great importance for working people all around the world.
