Joint body armed rebel group operating in the WESEA region – the CorCom today recounted the origin of May Day, observed every year to commemorate the day when labourers from across the world stand up for their rights.
In a statement, issued in connection with the day, the CorCom said that it was Karl Marx that woke up the working class people to fight for their rights against the capitalist group who had forced them to work 10 to 16 hours a day. He, along with his friend Engels published a Communist Manifesto in 1848 to unite all working class community and started campaigning to fulfill what had been stated in the manifesto.
As decided by the National Labour Union of the America, it was uninamously agreed the the working hour of a labourer should be 8 hours a day. The first sitting of the International Communist had adopted a resolution stating that the working hour of a labourer should be 8 hours daily. The resolution was agreed by all workers in 1886. The uprising for the demand even though was centric in Chicago, it spread at every part of America. During the uprising confrontation occurred between the security forces and the agitating working class people at different places in America. 6 workers were killed and dozens other injured in the clashed between the working class community and the police. Many workers too have been detained for raising voice against the government. They too were prosecuted by hanging to death by the ruling regime of that time on November 11 of 1887. During the 2nd sitting of the Communist International in 1889, it was resolved to observed May 1 as the day of the working class people.
