Re: [At-Large] Happy Labour Day! [Was: Happy Labor Day!]
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day) we seem to be the only ones that celebrate it on the first Monday in September. Most other countries later in the year or typically May 1. In this case, it is not pride in British spellings that caused me to say that "Labour" is the correct spelling. The concept of celebrating labour started in Canada and was emulated by the US (although it is unclear which made it a federal holiday first). Alan At 03/09/2012 05:20 PM, Salanieta T.

Although May Day has a completely different story... For Sala's calendar, Italy's national day is 2nd June, celebrating the birth of the Republic in 1948. Austria, where I currently live, has its national day on 26 October.

Dear Sal@: The 1st of May is International Workers Day in my country (Argentina). It is a day of struggle and a tribute to the Martyrs of Chicago. These unionists anarchists were executed in the United States for his part in the days of struggle for the order of the eight-hour workday, which originated in the strike that began on May 1, 1886 and its hot spot was three days later, May 4, in the Haymarket Riot. Today is a holiday revindication of the rights of workers in general, and is celebrated in many countries. -- *Sergio Salinas Porto Presidente Internauta Argentina Asociación Argentina de Usuarios de Internet <http://www.internauta.org.ar/>/CTA <http://www.ctamdq.org.ar/> FLUI- Federación Latinoamericana de Usuarios de Internet <http://www.fuilain.org/> facebook:salinasporto twitter:sergiosalinas MSN/MSN YAHOO/Talk: salinasporto...
