This day began in commemoration of the 1886 Haymarket Massacre in Chicago, where police fired upon workers striking for an eight-hour-day. Since then it has become a global celebration of the labor union movement as well as the economic and social gains made by workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Without labor, nothing is built, nothing prospers, nothing grows. Wealth, culture, technology, food, furniture, cars, houses, monuments\u2014the workers have made all these things. All development since the beginning of history has been the result of human labor. The first historical act by a human being was production. Despite this, this continual talk about the nonexistent \u201cmiddle class\u201d coming from the television has caused a loss of class identity among the American people. We live in an age where the phrase \u201cworking class\u201d is a smear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Let us create and consolidate organizations of workers to continue the legacy of May Day. The workers in every country, including America, must combat layoffs and rising unemployment while fighting for better working conditions, social and political rights, respect, a living wage and social support for the basic needs of other workers. Through its actions the working class is able to paving the way for the revolutionary transformation of the whole society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Let us make May Day, 2011 a day to reinforce our revolutionary and independent spirit through unity and struggle. The age of working people having pride and self-confidence has begun!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\"><strong>120 years of May Day!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we celebrate May Day, also known as International Workers\u2019 Day, a holiday celebrated by working people worldwide.
