The origin of the world's "May Day" Labor Day. On May 1, 1886, American workers launched a fight for the eight-hour working system and won. Later, all countries in the world regarded May 1 as "Labor Day". Also called "Section 5.1". Before "May 1 Labor Day", American workers worked overtime, received low wages, received unequal treatment, and suffered pain and abuse! In the early days of its founding, the United States built trains and railways and introduced a large number of foreign immigrant workers, many of whom were Chinese, to work in the United States. At that time, they only relied on backward tools to [crack the mountains and split the ground], eat and sleep on the mountains, and suffered from cold and heat! I don’t know how many workers died in a foreign land! Sentence [Pity the wilderness and loyalty, the railway has made thousands of bones withered]! Looking back on the past, railway workers’ contribution to the country was made with all their blood and sweat! Give your life! It makes people grateful and even more awe-inspiring. The United States is a country with diverse immigrants. It has been open for a long time and attracted foreign immigrants to enter the United States. Through their long-term efforts, they have created the prosperous and powerful United States today. Workers’ contribution to the country. However, workers in the United States today are still not taken seriously, especially people of color and ethnic minorities. They are discriminated against, have difficulty working, have low wages, live an unstable life, and live in fear all day long! Today's United States is one of the most famous countries in the world. It must pay attention to workers who have made great contributions to the country, increase employment, improve treatment, maintain reasonable rights and interests, and allow them to live a better life.
