Today in Labor History October 6, 1969: Shortly before the Days of Rage, the Weather Underground blew up a statue in Haymarket Square, Chicago commemorating the policemen who died in the Haymarket affair of 1886. It was rebuilt in 1970, only to be blown up again by the Weather Underground. After being rebuilt again, Mayor Daley posted a 24-hour armed police guard, at a cost of over $67,000 per year. But it was eventually moved to an enclosed area of Police Headquarters. The statue was erected in 1889. In 1927, on the 41st anniversary of the Haymarket affair, a streetcar jumped its tracks and crashed into the monument because the driver was "sick of seeing that policeman with his arm raised." In 1968, on the 82nd anniversary of the Haymarket affair, activists vandalized it with black paint in protest of police brutality against the antiwar movement.

On May 1, 1886, 350,000 workers went on strike across the U.S. to demand the eight-hour workday. In Chicago, anarchists Albert and Lucy Parsons led a peaceful demonstration of 80,000 people down Michigan Avenue. It was the world’s first May Day/International Workers’ Day demonstration—an event that has been celebrated ever since, by nearly every country in the world, except for the U.S. Two days later, another anarchist, August Spies, addressed striking workers at the McCormick Reaper factory. Chicago Police and Pinkertons attacked the crowd, killing at least one person. On May 4, anarchists organized a demonstration at Haymarket Square to protest that police violence. The police ordered the protesters to disperse. Somebody threw a bomb, which killed at least one cop. The police opened fire, killing another seven workers. Six police also died, likely from “friendly fire” by other cops.

The authorities went on a witch hunt, rounding up most of the city’s leading anarchists and radical labor leaders, including Albert Parsons and August Spies. The courts ultimately convicted seven anarchists of killing the cops, even though none of them were present at Haymarket Square when the bomb was thrown. They executed four of them in 1887, including Albert Parsons. After her husband’s execution, Lucy continued her radical organizing, writing, and speeches. In 1905, she cofounded the IWW, along with Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood, Eugene Debs, James Conolly and others.

Workers finish installing Gelert's statue of a Chicago policeman in Haymarket Square, 1889. The statue was destroyed by a bomb in 1969 and a replica now stands at the Chicago Police Headquarters.

Vu que je suis le casse-noix originel, je n’y suis pas allé par 4 chemins : comme 1ère action, j’ai proposé de trouver des outils pour remplacer tout ça par des équivalents ou bien . Je m’y connais très bien pour un usage personnel… mais pas du tout pour un usage associatif/collaboratif, d’où mon pour avoir des retours d’expérience.

J’ai bien sûr pensé à mais un camarade d’une autre assoc m’avait tellement mal parlé de cet outil…

Started reading Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy. I'm not very far in, but really enjoying it. Great option to remember Labor Day for what it really is - a way to keep Americans from joining with the rest of the world on May Day. Its not to celebrate the American worker, its to suppress us.

"Moreover, the excessive individualism which then prevailed was inconsistent with much public spirit. What little wealth you had seems almost wholly to have been lavished in private luxury. Nowadays, on the contray, there is no destination of the surplus wealth so popular as the adornmen of the city, which all enjoy in equal degree." (p.45)

is a trick played on the American . Almost the entire world celebrates workers' rights on , but that holiday has a strong association with and movements. The US chose a different day to break that link, helping to neuter labour.

If you enjoy Labor Day, you could thank a union, like the memes suggest. But it would be historically more accurate to thank radical working-class activists and here is why. President Grover Cleveland initiated the holiday as a bone to calm the labor movement, irate over the 100 workers slaughtered in the Pullman strike of 1894. However, that strike started as a wildcat strike because the workers in Pullman, Illinois, had not yet formed a union. And when they did unionize, they affiliated with the militant American Railroad Union, led by Eugene Debs, socialist and later cofounder of the radical IWW, which struck despite a federal injunction prohibiting them from doing so (a risk that unions today refuse to take—remember the recent railroad strike?). The ARU’s militancy, solidarity and refusal to back down to federal violence led to attacks by the army, dozens of deaths, and the imprisonment of ARU leader Debs. And here is one more thing to consider: Pres. Cleveland’s commitment to the holiday had much less to do with his fear of or respect for labor, and much more to do with his desire to take the wind out of the sails of the then much more popular and radical May 1st, International Workers Day, which is currently celebrated in virtually every country in the world, except the U.S. That holiday commemorates the Haymarket anarchists who were falsely convicted and executed for their efforts fighting for the 8-hour work day and an end to child labor.

You can read more about both the Pullman Strike and the Haymarket Affair in my articles on the Pinkertons and Lucy Parsons:

Well, sort of....

Labor already had, and still has, May Day, celebrated in every country in the world except the US, commemorating the Haymarket affair and the anarchists who were wrongly convicted and executed in Chicago in the fight for the 8 hour work day.

While the 1st Labor Day parade was in 1882, a few years before the Haymarket Affair, the nationally recognized federal holiday of Labor Day (1894) was largely a bone thrown to workers by President Cleveland and congress in the wake of the bloody Pullman strike, where federal troops and cops slaughtered 70 workers. And as a way to erase the radical anarchist and socialist roots of the labor movement in the US.
