History of Labor DayAt the end of the 18th century, the United States, Europe and many other countries gradually developed from capitalism to imperialism. In order to stimulate rapid economic development, squeeze more surplus value and maintain this high-speed capitalist machine, capitalists continued to increase working hours and labor intensity to cruelly exploit workers. In the United States, workers work 14 to 16 hours a day, and some even work up to 18 hours a day, but their wages are very low. A supervisor at a shoe factory in Massachusetts once said: "Let a strong and healthy 18-year-old boy work next to any machine here, and I can make his hair turn gray when he is 22 years old!" The heavy class oppression aroused great anger among the proletariat. They knew that the only way to fight for the conditions of survival was to unite and fight against the capitalists through strike movements. The strike slogan raised by the workers was to demand the implementation of an eight-hour work day.In 1877, the first national strike in American history began. The working class took to the streets to march and demonstrate, demanding that the government improve working and living conditions, shorten working hours, and implement an eight-hour work system. Soon after the strike began, the ranks of the strike gradually expanded, the number of union members increased dramatically, and workers from all over the country also joined the strike movement. Under the strong pressure of the workers' movement, the U.S. Congress was forced to enact the eight-hour workday law. However, the vicious capitalists simply ignored it, and the law was just a piece of paper. The workers still lived in dire straits and were tortured by the capitalists. The workers, who could no longer bear it, decided to push the struggle for the right to survive to a new climax and prepare to launch a larger-scale strike.
