It is an anual holiday celebrated all over the world that resulted from the labour union and the economic and social achievements that workers got. Most of the countries celebrate this festivity the 1st of May ( it doesn't really mind which day of the week is) although some other do it on the first Monday of September.
It is known as the Workers' Day and May Day. The celebration has its origins in the eight-hours a day movement, which advocated eight ours for work, eight for recreation and eight for rest.
Also, it is a conmemoration of the Hymarket Massacre in 1886, when Chicago police fired on workers during a general strike for the eight-hours day.
