Since 1890, workers across the world have been commemorating ‘May Day’ to pay tribute to the martyrs of Chicago who sacrificed their lives in the struggle to achieve 8 hours working day.
In 1886, in the American city of Chicago, unarmed protesting workers demanding an eight-hour working day were met with brutal force. May Day continues to symbolise the fight for the eight-hour day.
Often, the ruling class, capitalist media and intellectuals accuse the working class for resorting to violence to achieve their demands but history shows us it is actually the other way round.
It is really the capitalist class that resorts to violence to suppress the working people. As the events in Chicago proved, peaceful protest was met with brutal state force.
When the Mason City Trades and Labor Assembly received its official charter from the American Federation of Labor on Oct. 8, 1915, the document was signed by then AFL President Samuel Gompers.
At that point, the London native had been the organization s head since 1886 when it arose out of the former Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions.Â
That very same year, on May 4, in Chicago, at Haymarket Square, a workers strike for an eight-hour work day descended into chaos when an unknown person threw a dynamite bomb at police who had killed a person the day prior while breaking up a strike at a local machine company. After the bomb went off on May 4, gunfire rang out and at least 11 people were killed (seven police and four civilians). Steadily, in the years after that, May 1, May Day, began to be marked as International Workers Day.Â
