Mohamed Noor, a Black Minneapolis police officer, was convicted by a jury for the murder of Justine Ruszczyk Damond. The prosecutor, who chose not to charge white officers in the past, denied claims by activists that race played a factor.pic.twitter.com/Gt9YMm7XlT

Olympic champion Caster Semenya lost an appeal against new IAAF rules that say women with naturally high levels of testosterone must take hormone-lowering medication to compete. The UN says the rules potentially violate human rights laws, calling them "humiliating and harmful."pic.twitter.com/5tyTjnOEnk

Despite their ideological differences, these ideas all stem from the efforts of 19th-century workers to win greater rights and protections, and to be able to take home a larger share of the fruit of their labor. (16/16)

Today, we are again reevaluating working conditions. On the left, proposals for improvement range from a four-day week to universal basic income and the more radical "fully automated luxury communism," which welcomes robots replacing human workers. (15/16)https://ajplus.co/7wvfn

While the 8-hour workday became somewhat of a norm, many activists thought that it was an insufficient demand. Samuel Fielden, who was arrested after Haymarket, wrote, "Whether a man works eight hours a day or ten hours a day, he is still a slave."(14/16) https://ajplus.co/h3w9z

But the U.S. government isn't alone in its efforts to snuff out May Day. It was banned both in Fascist Italy and under Franco in Spain, though it was restored in Italy after WWII and in Spain after the death of Franco. (13/16)https://ajplus.co/mhby3

During the second Red Scare of the 1950s, President Eisenhower named May 1 as "Loyalty Day," which it still is officially. This implied it was unpatriotic to celebrate the 19th-century strikes by U.S. workers that won the 8-hour working day. (12/16) https://ajplus.co/rz7y4

In response, May 1 was branded "Americanization Day" during the Red Scare of the 1920s. Left-wing activists and labor organizers – who were often Eastern European and Jewish – were stereotyped as violent and foreign. (11/16)https://ajplus.co/xaybe

After the 1917 Russian Revolution, May Day would become an important holiday in the Soviet Union and its affiliated states. Events in Chicago in 1886 were thus forever enshrined in the calendar of the USSR. (10/16)https://ajplus.co/7egzm

After Haymarket, states began to declare Labor Day in September to differentiate from the radical May Day. Finally, in 1894, President Grover Cleveland created the annual U.S. Labor Day on the first Monday in September. (9/16)https://ajplus.co/pm53t

But socialists, communists and anarchists hailed the slain U.S. strikers as martyrs. In 1889, the Second International declared in Paris that May 1 should be the day workers around the world fight for an 8-hour day. (8/16) https://ajplus.co/mgdzy

The "Haymarket Affair" led to anti-union clampdowns and sweeping police raids and arrests. It also induced elite hysteria about anarchism and revolutionary violence, and became an early "Red Scare" in American political life. (7/16)https://ajplus.co/2cehm

Police were ordered to suppress the strikes, and on May 3, violent clashes ensued at McCormick Reaper Works in Chicago. The following day, several strikers and policemen were killed at the city's Haymarket Square. (6/16) http://www.loc.gov/rr/news/topics/haymarket.html …

On May 1, 1886, over 300,000 workers across America went on strike, demanding an 8-hour workday. In Chicago alone, 40,000 workers walked out. Over the following days, their numbers grew to roughly 100,000. (5/16)https://ajplus.co/y97m2

Shortening the working week was the priority for unions and left-wing activists. In 1884, the forerunner of the American Federation of Labor threw down the gauntlet: "Eight hours shall constitute a legal day's labor from and after May 1, 1886." (4/16)https://ajplus.co/uej4y

The holiday traces back to late 19th century labor organizing in the U.S. – a time when workers were subject to gruelling conditions and expected to toil an average 100 hours per week. (3/16) http://www.pbs.org/livelyhood/workday/weekend/8hourday.html …

The U.S. celebrates Labor Day in September. That's not a mere quirk of the calendar: Several administrations deliberately chose to ignore a holiday synonymous with socialism and organizing for workers' rights. (2/16)https://ajplus.co/sdl55
