Roger B Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It is interesting to know that May 1st is the International Labor Day. It is celebrated in most countries around the world but not in the US. Also it is interesting to know that this date has its origin in the US. It was an strike that labor unions did in Chicago in 1886, in order to improve working conditions and reduce the working hours from 12 to 8. Police and strike breakers started to shoot the workers on strike killing a couple of persons and some leaders were arrested and condemned to be executed by hanging.
