@dank@jorts.horse wait, does May Day go back to the Haymarket Riots or the Pullman strike, or what?
I actually thought it was British, maybe 1880 or so.

@the_turtle@mastodon.sdf.org International Workers' Day was codified in 1889 and May 1st was chosen to honor the Haymarket Martyrs and the labor demonstration in Haymarket Square
