Today in Labor History September 5, 1882: The first American Labor Day was observed, with 30,000 workers marching in New York City. The event was connected to a meeting of the radical Knights of Labor. Oregon became the first state to officially recognize the holiday. Over the years, more an more states recognized the holiday. However, by 1886, workers from around the world were celebrating May 1st as International Workers’ Day, in honor of the American anarchists who were wrongly convicted and executed for the Haymarket Affair. Fearing that the May 1st holiday would strengthen anarchist and communist movements, President Cleveland pushed for federal recognition of the September holiday. And in 1894, Congress passed a bill making it an official federal holiday.

The current importance of #InternationalWorkersDay, how to build unity among different workers, millions ejected from #healthcare in the US, how to stop the march toward #waronChina, the attacks on the #African People’s #SocialistParty, and more.

It's #InternationalWorkersDay! The labour movement in Canada has played a significant role in victories over parental leave, employment equity, sexual harassment policies, and equal pay.

As a crew person that has worked on films with "rainbow" scripts, I support this strike.

When the Workers of the World Combine

#DavidRovics

When that time arrives, maybe it looks like May Day
Like a festival that comes home and doesn’t go away
Every race and gender, every walk and station
With the working class united, every land and nation
Then just watch what happens, when we follow the same sign
When the workers of the world combine
