- Enough and fair Wages
- one holiday in a week

These were all the demands of labor at that time which shocked the capitalist mafia of that time.
First the labor were underestimated by the allied, but soon they realized their muscle power. They have to admitted that the system can't run with out them. In 1882 the first labor parade was held at New York in United States. Later on in 1894 the congress announced 1st may as a national holiday; giving credit to the labor class.
Today labors all around the world celebrate this day. They go for outing with their friends and family members. It's solo aim is to release burden of work from their shoulder, and let them enjoy with their beloved one in free Air.
