The May Day holiday schedule for 2015 has been determined. Everyone knows that May Day is a legal holiday in our country, but most people are not quite clear about the commemorative significance of May Day. In fact, May Day is to commemorate the great workers' strike movement!

The Origin of May Day

May 1st, International Labor Day, also known as "May 1st", is celebrated on May 1st every year. It is a common festival for the proletariat and working people all over the world. This International Labor Day originated from the general strike of workers in the city of Chicago in the United States. On May 1, 1886, more than 216,000 workers in Chicago went on strike to fight for the eight-hour work day. After a hard and bloody struggle, they finally won. To commemorate this great workers' movement, the Second International announced in July 1889 that May 1st of each year would be designated as International Labor Day. This decision immediately received positive responses from workers around the world.
