[At-Large] Happy Labour Day! [Was: Happy Labor Day!]

[Presidencia Internauta]

Dear Sal@:
The 1st of May is International Workers Day in my country (Argentina).
It is a day of struggle and a tribute to the Martyrs of Chicago.
These unionists anarchists were executed in the United States for his part
in the days of struggle for the order of the eight-hour workday, which
originated in the strike that began on May 1, 1886 and its hot spot was
three days later, May 4, in the Haymarket Riot.
Today is a holiday revindication of the rights of workers in general, and
is celebrated in many countries.
