US Labor Day Protests to Escalate as May Day Demonstrations Planned Nationwide As the UK royal family continues its state visit to the US, the nation's attention is shifting to a growing movement of labor unions, democratic organizations, and community groups planning to commemorate International Workers Day, also known as May Day. Inspired by a similar economic blackout in Minnesota, organizers are calling for a nationwide "no school, no work, no shopping" day of protest on May 1st.
