International Workers' Day, also known as May Day or Labour Day in most countries, is a celebration of the working class. Its roots are found in the fight for the eight-hour day, which began in Chicago and culminated in the infamous Haymarket Affair on May 4, 1886.  For the latest episode of Solidarity Works, we are going back in time to explore this explosive watershed moment for the American labor movement.
