May Day, the International Workers' Day, is celebrated on May 1, to commemorate the working class struggle for an eight-hour workday, immortalised by the conflicts from the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago. It was established by an international federation in 1889, now recognised globally to promote worker solidarity and rights. On May 1, Chicago witnessed a great outpouring of workers, who laid down tools at the call of the organised labour movement of the city.

A joint demonstration was organised today at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, by Left parties—Communist Party of India (Marxist), Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (ML), Revolutionary Socialist Party, Forward Bloc, and CGPI. A large number of workers and trade union leaders from Noida, Ghaziabad, and Delhi participated in the protest.

WITH May Day approaching, and the veil of mistrust and despair being shattered, the Indian working class is rising with heroic valour at every moment; it has sent a shiver down the spine of spineless capital and instilled a deep sense of fear in the heart of the heartless state. The upsurges are coming in waves, one after another, sweeping across north and central India - the industrial workers are asserting their existence amid great agony and pain.

UNDER the historic slogan “Naye Bharat ke vaaste, Bhagat Singh – Ambedkar ke raaste” (On Ambedkar Path, For the Sake of A New India) the 19th State Conference of DYFI Delhi was successfully held on April 12 at Sonia Vihar.
