May 1st, International Workers' Day, commemorates the historic struggle of working people throughout the world, and is recognized in many countries (66?) but not the United States, Canada, and (*******). This despite the fact that the holiday began in the 1880s in the United States, with the fight for an eight-hour work day.
Update: My apologies to South Africa and Nelson Mandela, who instituted celebration of the day in 1994...hat tip reader Kevin.
