May Day was first celebrated in the U.S. when, in 1886, 300,000 workers walked off their jobs to demand an eight hour workday.You may not know that because while many countries officially recognize the holiday, and almost all countries celebrate it, the U.S. spends May first celebrating Loyalty Day, and National Day of Prayer. Church State non-separation and blind patriotism are a lot more palatable than workers’ rights, humane working conditions, an eight hour work day and other radical notions.
So I say, viewers of the world, UNITE! Celebrate May Day by watching great movies about the workers’ movement. Here are the top 10 May Day movies.

As is the case with many things, the publics focus on the Writer’s Strike has worn off. While they made headlines in the beginning - now we are only reminded that they are on strike when we turn on our television only to find American Gladiators or some Dancing with the Stars like show. (The exception being the premiere of Lost tonight - yay!)
