    I just looked that up on Wikipedia and holy shit, cops fucking with people, somebody throws a stick of dynamite at the police and kills seven of them, they fire back kill three.

    The labor movement was fucking hardcore before we became fucking bitches in the modern area here.

      And that specific movement is what got us the 8 hour workday.

      Also, curious that Labor Day is celebrated on May 1st essentially everywhere except for America, where the event originally happened.
