(I'm feeling aggravated)




On the May 1st, 1886, union pressure allows to about 200.000 American workers to acquire the eight-hour day. The memory of this day leads the Europeans, some years later, to institute May Day.

Le 1er mai 1886, la pression syndicale permet à environ 200.000 travailleurs américains d'obtenir la journée de huit heures. Le souvenir de cette journée amène les Européens, quelques années plus tard, à instituer la Fête du Travail. 

In France, from 1890, the demonstrators of May 1st developed habit to march by carrying a red triangle in the buttonhole. This one represents the division of the day in three equal parties: job, sleep, free time.


En France, dès 1890, les manifestants du 1er mai ont pris l'habitude de défiler en portant à la boutonnière un triangle rouge. Celui-ci symbolise la division de la journée en trois parties égales : travail, sommeil, loisirs.
