May 1st or May 1886 is the World Day of Workers around the World, on that day, in memory of the martyred workers of Chicago, the workers of Chicago around the world, with great enthusiasm, procession, seminars and rallies with revolutionary slogans, with a successful strike of 1886 and 8 hours.
Thus, the workers, the oppressed, the slaves, the compulsions, the subordinates have long been struggling for centuries. Then over time, science began to develop and the working class continued to revolt.
They had no time, but in the 18th and 19th centuries, the working class began to emerge and organize. It was the period when the industry started to get. Coal and steam -powered factories and engine machine began to enter. Europe was on the path of development, papacy was also loud.
In 1789, there was an incomplete revolution in France, with some progressive poets, writers, intellectuals, writers, journalists and political leaders in Europe to organize the workers. The slogans of communism and socialism were rising. The ideas of Karl Marx and Engels were spreading rapidly.
The Communist League had become, his manufacturer had arrived. The laborers were heading towards the association. Capitalism was on the rise. This was the time when 1886 came.
The same year, on May 1, 1886, the workers of the US industrial city of Chicago rebelled. The historic tragedy of May 1 came when such enthusiastic revolutionary and struggling political and labor leaders were born with revolutionary consciousness, who, in the first and complete strike in Chicago, sacrificed their valuable lives and gave the world a new labor movement.
These workers were gathered at the market square, these workers challenged the then rulers, mill owners, manufacturers, industrialists, investors, saying, “The oppressive rulers! We are human too. We also have the right to survive, set our hours. Give us jobs, increase our salaries. “They were chanting slogans. The workers of the world! Get one! Capitalism, dead wind! They were one without color and race. The entire industrial city was in Chicago jam.
The smoke was stopped from the mills, factories, it was May 1, 1886. Then in an morning newspaper, an anonymous journalist wrote on the front page, performing his revolutionary duty, which became part of history. “Labor! Your fight has begun, go ahead will make the decision to come, to set your hours, to continue the struggle to meet your demands, the rulers will have to bend.
Winning and victory will be yours, do not lose courage, to be united, that is your victory. It is your survival. Fighting, until the demands are approved, the labor alliance is alive! ”This journalist’s writing created more passion among the workers. The workers demanded eight hours of time with loud slogans. We will work for eight hours, we will rest for eight hours, we will spend eight hours in our family and wife children.
The rulers, the mill owners, the capitalists did not like this slogan and unity of the workers. They took action against the workers and fired at them. No, weak and peaceful workers bleed. Workers’ bloodshed on the streets of Chicago. The white flag of peacekeepers turned red with blood.
The shirt of a laborer turned out of the blood, then he made his flag to the red shirt in the blood and decided that the red flag was now our flag. From then on, the red and red flag has become a flag of workers around the world. Finally, the rulers acknowledged the demands of the workers and thus the eight hours were appointed.
On the occasion, four leaders of the workers, including Fisher, Angel, Patters and Spies, were sentenced to death. These leaders have gone out of the world, but left their name, their work and their movement forever.
Later in 1917, the workers’ revolution came and formed a government, the red flag and the hammer mark still exists today. There was a revolution in China. Today the world is in the grip of revolutions. It has been 6 hours in Europe. In Europe, workers have many privileges, but our country Pakistan has more than 1886 problems.
Today, there are more than eight hours of work all over Pakistan. Rights are being slaughtered, inflation, unemployment, illness, ignorance, poverty, suicide, trade unions are breaking down, laborers are dividing.
Malik is caught in the World Bank, IMF, WTO. Feudalism, capitalism, bureaucracy are loud. Workers, losers and people should have the right to associate. Today, US imperialist President Donald Trump has imposed heavy taxes on many of the poorest countries, including China, Russia and Europe, by introducing a new tax system in the world last month, making Trump a great acting in creating a new society. We have to think.
Come on! We pay tribute to the martyrs of Chicago once again May 1, 1886.
