- May Day honors the general strike that culminated in the Haymarket affair in 1886, which “signifies the labor movement’s struggle for better working conditions, fair wages, the rights of workers and efforts in driving social progress,” according to the WEF. In Hollywood, the rally and march begins at Sunset Blvd. and Gower St., then heads north to Hollywood Blvd. before ending at Hollywood and Highland. The rally starts at 2:00 pm, and the march begins at 3:00 pm. Hollywood streets will be closed from 12:00 noon to 5:00 pm.

The first Monday in May sometimes substitutes. It is related to Labor Day in some countries [1] and often referred to as May Day [2, 3]. It is a celebration of laborers (the proles in 1984) and the working classes. It is promoted by the international labor movement and occurs every year on the first of May [4, 5] or the first Monday in May [6, 7].

The demonstration subsequently became an annual event [5]. The 1904 Sixth Conference of the Second International, called on "all Social Democratic Party organizations and trade unions of all countries to demonstrate energetically on the First of May for the legal establishment of the eight-hour day, for the class demands of the proletariat, and for universal peace."

COMMENTARY
Does sex work count as labor? - Do you sweat? |
Q: Should I celebrate? A: Look down at your collar. What color is it? Whatever color it is, yes, you should celebrate it. Our lives depend on the workers we exploit, underpay, and overwork. This movement merely tries to make things fairer for those who sweat and toil, while we sit at desks or behind registers collecting profits for the bosses, exploiters, and owners of the means of production (the capitalists). While we all imagine we will be rich, there is still reason to support labor, the foundation of any society. If we were to only consume, we would soon starve. A society must produce, and that production is brought about with labor (until the capitalists bring in the functional robots to replace the laborers). Is it any wonder Luddites in San Francisco are beating driverless cabs stealing food from their mouths?
