Women protested at Haymarket, Chicago, demanding a 30-hour work week.
Women protested at Haymarket, Chicago, demanding a 30-hour work week.

Originating from the strike in Chicago on May 1st, 1886, which main demand was an 8-hour work day. This event led to protests in Haymarket Square, where a bomb exploded and clashes between workers and policemen happened, turning it into a symbol of sacrifice and fighting for labor rights.


To memorize and commemorate this event, International Workers’ Day, May 1st, has become a holiday in many countries in order to honor labor and build labor solidarity around the world. At the same time, this is also a holiday for the working class and workers, a day of uniting the working class and oppressed people in the world in the fight for peace, national independence, democracy, and social progress.


In such a meaningful month like May, Voice Of Us wants to spread multi-dimensional, positive perspectives as well as stories about workers all around the world. With such a noble mission, we, the Bear witch, are determined to create many new spells that guarantee that after seeing them, you will be overwhelmed with countless useful knowledge.


So what are you waiting for? Let's look forward to gaining more useful knowledge with the Bear family in the event series of May - Labor Month!
