Η Google celebrates Labor Day with a new Doodle. Την πρώτη Μαΐου γιορτάζεται η μέρα των εργατών. Είναι στην πραγματικότητα η καθιερωμένη γιορτή της εξέγερσης των εργατών του Σικάγου. Τον Μάη του 1886 τα εργατικά συνδικάτα στο Σικάγο ξεσηκώθηκαν διεκδικώντας ωράριο work in 8 hours and better working conditions.
It is also celebrated as a day of flowers and Spring. The day has been established as a labor strike and all services and businesses remain closed.
May Day in Greece
The 1892 was the first May-May gathering in Greece by his Socialist Association Kallergis. It 1893, 2000 protested by calling for eighth, Sunday holidays and state insurance to the victims of industrial accidents.
The 1894, there is a large gathering with the same demands that expires with 10 arrests and in August follows the arrest of socialist Stavros Kallergis.
The 1936 we have their smokers Thessaloniki. The events began in February, with the occupation of a factory after the rejection of the workers' demands, and continued with the support of smokers from other factories. Both the police and the army used it against them. There was no central gathering but small gatherings with speakers in different parts of the city.
At a gathering at the intersection of Egnatia and Venizelos, gendarmes shot and killed 7-8 workers. The tobacco worker's monument has been erected at this point. They tried to break up the other gatherings with shots and in total we had at least 12 dead and 300 injured. The murders of the workers were his inspiration Ritsu for the "Epitaph".
Note that in Kesariani on May 1, 1944, Labor Day coincided with Anandri implementation 200 Greek communists who were taken to the Kaisarianis shooting range from the Haidari camp by the German Occupation forces.
So only the Kesariani does not celebrate Labor Day as the rest of the free and democratic world.
The same day is a day of historical honor and μνήμηs.
