01May2006 Monday- GM! Happy May Day!
Hi Friends,
Avery Good Morning to you. I believe you would have had a good refreshment after the weekend.
Wishing you all a very Happy May Day!
Sharing some of the information about the May Day in today's blog.

May Day is a name for various holidays celebrated on May 1 (or in the beginning of May), ranging from pagan festivals to International Workers' Day, its most famous action
International Workers' Day
International Workers' Day (a name used interchangably with May Day) is the commemoration of the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago, Illinois, and a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. The 1 May date is used because in 1884 the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, inspired by labor's 1872 success in Canada, demanded an eight-hour workday in the United States to come in effect as of May 1, 1886. This resulted in a general strike and the riot in Chicago of 1886, but eventually also in the official sanction of the eight-hour workday. The May Day Riots of 1894 and May Day Riots of 1919 occurred subsequently.
In most countries other than the U.S. and UK, May Day is often referred to simply as "Labor Day".
Canada, Australia, and New Zealand celebrate their Labor Day on different dates, which has to do with how the holiday originated in those countries; see also Loyalty Day and Law Day, U.S.A.
