What festival is May 1st?

Also known as "May 1 International Labor Day" and "International Demonstration Day", it is a national holiday in more than 80 countries in the world. On May 1 day every year. This is a festival shared by working people all over the world.

It originated from a great labor movement. /kloc-At the end of 0/8th century, in order to realize rapid economic development, many countries, such as Europe and America, constantly increased the working hours and labor intensity of workers. The daily working hours are even as long as 14- 16 hours, with only a little living wage. Therefore, this caused strong dissatisfaction among workers.

1889 In July, the Second International led by friedrich engels held a congress in Paris. The meeting passed a resolution stipulating that international workers should hold a March on May 1 890, and decided to designate May 1 as the International Labor Day.

May 1 was designated as Labor Day. After 1989, the national model workers and advanced workers will be commended once every five years, with about 3,000 people each time.

Development history:

/kloc-in the 0/9th century, many countries in America and Europe gradually developed from capitalism to imperialism. In order to stimulate the rapid economic development and extract more surplus value, and to maintain this high-speed capitalist machine, capitalists constantly exploit workers by increasing labor time and labor intensity.

In the United States, workers have to work 14 to 16 hours a day, and some even as long as 18 hours, but their wages are very low. The director of a shoe factory in Massachusetts once said, "Let a strong and healthy boy 18 years old work next to any machine here, and I can make his hair turn white at the age of 22."

The heavy class oppression aroused the great anger of the proletarians. They know that the only way to survive is to unite and fight against capitalists through strike movement. The strike condition put forward by the workers is an eight-hour working day.
