May Day

I never heard about a holiday called May Day until this assignment. And while i read more information about it on wikipedia it stated "May Day commonly sees organized street demonstrations and street marches by millions of working people and their labour unions throughout most of the countries of the world — though, as noted below, rarely in the United States". Seeing how the United States doesn't take part of this Holiday explains why I never learned much about it. In a way this disappoints me because we celebrate several other holidays, even some that have no meaning but yet the U.S wouldn't support other countries that is celebrating a similar holiday as " labor Day". Worker's holiday first occur in Australia in 1856 s a celebration of the social and economic achievements of the international labor movement. May Day is most common by having organized street demonstrations and street marches by millions of working people and their labor unions.
