(z4) How the workers are exploited?
(z5) Why did the strikers go down the street?
(z6) Which demand did the workers struggle for?
(z7) What activities did the workers do against the authorities?
Answer:
(a) May Day is observed all over the world in order to pay tribute to
the historical struggle and sacrifies of the working class people to establish
an eight-hour workday.
(b) The workers were deprived of their basic rights. Right from the
Industrial Revolution, the workers had to work for a long shift, fourteen or
even more hours a day that led to the struggle.
(c) The events of May Day remind us that the workers will continue to
be exploited until they stand up and speak out for their rights of better working
conditions, better pay and better lives.
(d) Yes, I support the idea, because the events of May Day have shown
the workers of the world how due rights of better working conditions, better pay
and better lives are gained. The workers will have to stand up and speak out
for their rights. Otherwise, they will be ever exploited.
(e) The workers wanted an eight-hour workday by struggling against the
authority. They wanted better working conditions, better pay and better lives for
which they had been struggling.
(f) May Day commemorates the historical struggle and sacrifice of the
workers to establish an eight-hour workday demand.
(g) Industrial Revolution means revolution relating to industry: it
means abrupt and unprecedented growth of industries. Industrial Revolution took
place in Europe and the USA during the 18th and 19th centuries.
(h) The events of May 1, 1886 is a reminder for the workers. It reminds
them that they would be exploited until they become united, stand together and
speak out for better working conditions, better pay and improved lives.
(i) When the policemen attacked the strikers, one striker was killed
instantly, five or six others were seriously wounded and many of them were
badly injured.
(j) From the events of May 1st, 1886, the workers have learnt that they
have to stand up and speak out to gain better working conditions, better pay
and better lives.
(k) The industrial revolution took place in Europe and the USA in the
18th and 19th centuries. Since then the workers had to work for fourteen or
even more hours a day.
(l) Yes, I support, the idea that the events of May 1, 1886 will act as
a reminder to the workers of their exploitation. Chiefly for two reasons the
said acts will remain as a reminder. Firstly, the day is observed recurrently
every year with various programmes. Secondly, such exploitations have not come
to an end.
(m) May 1st is called International Workers Day because on May 1st in
1886, workers struggled and sacrificed their lives to gain the privileges
workers enjoy today. Since then every year, May 1st is observed as the
International Workers Day.
(n) As a result of their sacrifice, the workers enjoy some privileges
such as a minimum wage, safety laws and eight-hour workday.
(o) If there were no ‘May Day’ in the history of the world, the working
people of the world would need to work 10 to 16 hours a day in unsafe
conditions like the workers before May 1st 1886. And they would be exploited
like those workers.
(p) The policemen all on a sudden, attacked the workers with clubs and
revolvers. One worker died on the spot, five or six others were seriously
wounded and many others were badly injured.
(q) Yes, I support the attitude that is mentioned in the question. It
is true that all the workers will be exploited if they are not aware of their
rights—better working conditions, better pay and better lives. The main reason
behind my support to the attitude is that all the workers should take the
events Of May 1 as a reminder to protect their proper rights.
(r) One 1St May 1886, about 200 policemen attacked the striking workers
on a rally at the city of Chicago and killed one worker on the spot and wounded
and injured mans’ others. The workers wanted an eight-hour workday.
(s) The leaders of trade union addressed the rally. Some strikebreakers
started leaving the meeting place.
(t) The working conditions in Europe and the United States were very
bad. The workers had to work 10 to 16 hours a day in unsafe conditions. Death
and injury were common at many work places. These working conditions in Europe
and the United States compelled the workers to form a revolution.
(u) The main theme of the passage is struggle and sacrifice against
exploitation and deprivation. Because prior to May 1st, 1886 workers had to
work 10 to 16 hours a day in very unsafe conditions. They were often victims of
death and injury. As a result, they protested against it unitedly. They went on
a strike and assembled in a rally. Police tired on the crowd of workers, killed
one on the spot and left many wounded and injured. But ultimately, the workers
succeeded in getting their demands fulfilled..
(v) The consequence of May Day is that the workers had finally
established an eight-hour workday together with other facilities rights and
privileges.
(w) The lesson of May Day for the workers is that the workers will
continue to be exploited until they stand up and speak out to gain better
working conditions, better pa’ and better lives.
(x) The events of May Day took place at the city of Chicago in the USA.
(y) The workers had to work fourteen hours or more a day before the May
1st strike.
(z) The workers in Chicago went on a strike demanding an eight-hour
workday:
(z1) The trade unions inspired the workers.
(z2) On May 1st, 1886, half of the workers at the McCormic Harvesting
Machine Company in Chicago went on strike.
(z3) We observe May Day to commemorate the historical struggle and
sacrifices of the working class people.
(z4) The workers are exploited about their fundamental rights like
working hours; salary and safety.
(z5) The strikers went down the street to bring the strikebreakers
back.
(z6) The workers struggled for the demand of an eight-hour workday.
(z7) The workers went on a strike on 01 May 1886 demanding an
eight-hour workday. They brought out a grand rally on 03 May 1886 at the
McCormick Harvesting Machine Company where in about 6,000 workers participated.
