The Second International
picked May 1 as the date for International Workers' Day in 1889 to
honor the Chicago Haymarket Affair and the fight for an eight-hour
workday.
We have to remember the sacrifices and struggles of those
who came before us. They fought for workers' rights and better working
conditions, yet today, we see these hard-won gains slipping away. It's
up to us to continue the fight for fair wages, safe working conditions,
and a better future for all workers. Let's remember their bravery and
honor their legacy by standing up for what's right.
Remembering the
past struggles for workers' rights and recognizing the ongoing
challenges that workers face today can help inspire us to continue the
fight for fair treatment and better conditions for all. ✊⚒️🧰
