  • The origins of International Labor Day are found in Chicago, where on May 1, 1886, workers called for a strike for an eight-hour workday.

    On May 4, violence broke out in Haymarket Square when a bomb was thrown at police officers. The resulting gunfire resulted in several deaths, including six officers and a number of civilians.

    This turning point stimulated trade unions and socialist federations across Europe to declare May 1 an international day of workers" solidarity, formally approved in 1889 at the Paris meeting of the Second International.
