- May Day
May 1 has been the traditional day of international worker solidarity since 1890, when American and European workers held mass demonstrations to commemorate the May 1, 1886 U.S. general strike that won American workers the eight-hour day.
Today, from revolutionaries in Cairo, to protesters in Wisconsin, to day laborers in Portland, workers are continuing to struggle for their rights.
On May 1, 2011, join workers around the globe in celebrating International Workers' Day with a march against the attacks on the working class and immigrants.
