OR May Day It was never a simple date. It was a cry. It was blood. It was the moment when the workers The world shouted “arrives”. By the Chicago of 1886 and the witnesses of the 8 hours, up to the mass marches of the 20th century, the May 1 carries the price and the Price of the race.
Today, May 1, 2025, the memory remains – but the voice is lowered.
The marches diminished, The claims have been slimmed down, the flame of collectivity seems to be faded. And not just the fatigue of the season or the habit of defeat. The management of a historical force in a frivolous and sometimes self -serving manner has failed.
For decades, a piece of trade union movement used the rights of workers as a means of power or party representation. The voice of many turned into a few seal. The rights won by blood became a tool of bureaucracy – and ultimately, depreciation. THE “smudgy” He also passed by the workers themselves, who left the sidewalk for the couch, and the claim for the hashtags.
Not everyone is the same. And it doesn’t end anything permanently. But the story is reminiscent of every May Day That freedom, time, salary, life with dignity are not given. They are earned.
And, sometimes, they are paid very expensive.
