The holiday of May 1 is closely connected with the struggle of workers for their rights in the second half of the 19th century🤔. Their key requirement is to reduce the working day from 15 to 8 hours😧. A series of high-profile public appearances began in Australia.

On May 1, 1886, workers in the United States and Canada also demanded a reduction in working hours. But these performances ended tragically😔.

During the dispersal of a demonstration of workers in Chicago, six workers were killed🥺. This provoked a new round of violence, from which both the demonstrators themselves and the police suffered.

In memory of these dramatic events, the Day of Solidarity of the workers of the whole world was established, which later transformed into the well-known holiday of Spring and Labor🙏.
