Labor Day is May 1st.
The International Workers' Day or May Day is the celebration par excellence of the
world labor movement. It is a journey that has been commonly used to perform
different social and labor demands.
Since its establishment in most countries by agreement of the Socialist Workers'
Congress of the Second International, held in Paris in 1889, it is a day of struggle
and a tribute to the Martyrs of Chicago. These anarcho-syndicalists were executed
in the United States for its participation in the days of struggle for the
achievement of the working day of eight hours, which originated in the strike that
began on May 1, 1886 and its peak three days later, May 4, at the Haymarket Riot.
Today it is a protest party of the rights of workers in general, and is celebrated in
