What is the origin of Labor Day?On May 1, 1886, 350,000 workers in Chicago and other cities in the United States held a general strike and demonstrations, demanding the implementation of an eight-hour work system and improved working conditions. The struggle shook the entire United States. The powerful force of the working class's unity and struggle forced the capitalists to accept the workers' demands. This major strike by American workers was victorious.In July 1889, the Second International led by Engels held a congress in Paris. In order to commemorate the May 1st strike of American workers, show the great power of "Workers of the world, unite!" and promote the struggle of workers of all countries for an eight-hour work day, the conference passed a resolution to hold a parade of international workers on May 1st, 1890, and decided to designate May 1st as International Labor Day. This decision received a positive response from workers around the world. On May 1, 1890, workers from Europe and the United States took to the streets, holding grand demonstrations and rallies to fight for their legitimate rights and interests. From then on, working people from all over the world hold activities to celebrate on this day every year. |
