On celebrating the freedom and the human rights for the workers; How has this day really become the day as it has become?
We find many nice things with May, and the start of the new month is reflecting in the workers, and that this day is a marking of their freedom and the human rights, and that they defend justice and enough salary, and that we should think about ourselves, and our situations and consider whether we are satisfied or dissatisfied when thinking about all the kinds of alternatives that are present.
May we have,
Bright and clear!
And:
Come May, and be lovely and nice and mild!
And you should do the forest one more time with being green!
Yeah, we have several nice melodies that are marking that we are just passing a new month, and we should live and work in that month at least as good as we have done before, and everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. And everyone should be satisfied with the choices that we are doing for her or him.
Ok, we have May and its first day today, and we are celebrating it because we need to think about the workers, and this day is actually both a national and an international day! And we are perhaps celebrating this particular day strongest in Europe and in America, if we are looking on all the continents in the world. In 1888, the American Organization for the countries over there, American Federation of Labor, decided to implement a general strike on 1 May 1990, as a part of the fight of getting an eight hours working day. And until the First World War, the requirement for eight hours working day was in the front for the demonstrations. And in 1933, the Nazis did the 1 May as a national celebration day, «the day of the work» at the same time as the free trade union was dissolved. And also in Norway, the 1 May was called for «the day of the work», and it was introduced as statutory holiday during the government to Vidkun Quisling in April 1942. This rule was cancelled in 1945. Once more, in 1947, the first of May was again a public holiday day, and it was a day that we should not work. The programs and the passwords have been designed after that, but since the 1970s, some political parties have had their own ways of celebrating the day just as they wanted and found philosophy and meaning within. And since 1947, the 1 May has been the day for the workers. And they have worked for liberty, salary and human rights ever since, and we are also here today. And the origin of the 1 May and not working that day come from the United States, and in July 1958, the president in the United States Dwight D. Eisehower signed a resolution which did the first of May to the “loyalty day” rather than a day for solidarity with the workers in all countries in the world. So, today, we are celebrating the 1 May for most of the industrialized countries in the world, and hence 1 May is both national and international, and we must think of ourselves as a country as well as looking to other countries when celebrating this day.
And you probably know it, and maybe I have mentioned it to any of you when meeting you in the streets, and in the demonstrations, you know Marcus Thrane was special and important for the movement for the workers, and has made most attention in the United States, and you know 1 May is a day of not working too much, having enough salary, and it is a day with unity, and we are in the life and in the reality to express our free views, and the liberty of doing speeches, and therefore this specific day is a day where our thoughts are going to the depressed and alienated workers, and this day is a fighting day, and it started in Chicago in the United States, and today we are holding speeches several places on that day, also different places in Norway, and people with power positions are holding these kinds of speeches, and freedom and making the choices as one deserves, that is the main issue for many people nowadays on 1 May. And the workers claimed to work just eight hours a day, and this idea and this reaction were spread to many countries in the world after the start in Chicago in 1886.
