May Day, a brief history

by Dan Mattson (handyman [at] california.com)
May Day is Labor Day for much of the world, but not the US. Ironically it began in the US in the 1880's over the struggle for the eight hour day. Many lost their lives in this struggle. And now in 2001, for many, the eight hour day is but a dream. (Some work may more, other not enough.) Click the link for a brief history of May Day.
