Origins of May Day

International Workers Day is celebrated globally as symbolic of class struggle and working class solidarity, but it is especially significant for libertarians, anti-authoritarians and anarchists.

Back in 1886, when unions were fighting for the establishment of the 8-hour working day, the American Federation of Labor called a national strike on May the 1st.

In Chicago, a centre of anarchist involvement in the labour movement at the time, 400,000 workers came out to protest and form picket lines, and no smoke billowed from the factory chimneys that day.....
