Paragraph Writing (May Day / International Workers Day)
May day /A Mournful Day
May Day is the International Workers
Day. The day is celebrated worldwide on the first day of the month of May. May
Day refers to a sad incident that took place May 1st in 1886 in the
American city of Chicago where a large number of workers laid down their lives
for the interest of the workers across the whole world. The history is that
during those days the working people were suffering from over work. From the
beginning of the industrial Revolution, people in factories have worked very
long shifts, lasting up to fourteen or even more hours a day. They could not
protest for fear of losing job. However, they protested against the injustice
done to them. And on May 3, 1886 police fired into a protestant crowd in
Chicago. The streets of Chicago were smeared with the warm blood of many
workers. One worker died instantly and many more were injured severely. All the
privileges workers enjoy today such as a minimum wage, safety laws and an
eight-hour workday were the outcome of the sacrifices of the workers on May 3,
1886. These are the rights they have achieved by their struggle. This day
reminds the working class people that the workers will continue to be exploited
until they stand up and speak out to gain better working condition, better pay
and standard of life. On this day the working classes of the world become united
irrespective of caste, creed and nationality. So, black flags are flown atop
the offices and black badges are worn by the workers to symbolize their
heartfelt grief for their fellow workers. Thus, May Day has been a symbol of
unity for the workers all over the world.
