Why the name “May Day” for the bookstore? Our name May Day originated in the U.S. in Chicago in the fight for the 8 hour day in 1886. It was later declared an international day of labor by the Socialist International. It is celebrated by the working class, socialists and unions all over the world, and is a paid holiday in many nations except in the U.S., its birthplace. May Day Books carries on the tradition in its original home. |
