this article needs more references

Most of the sections describing when International Workers' Day in each country are not referenced. —howcheng {chat} 16:22, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

Map: More detail w.r.t. designation as holiday vs public holiday?

User:DissidentAggressor earlier raised the point of this article using specific phrases incorrectly or without defining them. In a similar vein, Commons user Idh0854 requested on my Commons talk page to add a new legend entry to the map for workers' holidays which are not public holidays, such as in the case of South Korea. Since legend entries are sometimes considered major, I decided to open a discussion on it. Does anyone disagree? Does anyone have any other legend suggestions, while I'm at it? --BurritoBazooka ^Talk Contribs 01:00, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Early history

I've been trying to dig up some early history of American Labor Day and International Workers' Day. I added a citation needed tag and it got long enough that I thought it should be mentioned here since this the article may be factually inaccurate or incomplete.

“ 1 May was chosen to be International Workers' Day to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago. ”

Foner and llco definitely say that May 1 does commemorate Haymarket now, but there were conversations about a workers holiday prior to Haymarket. Is it possible someone proposed May 1 before Haymarket? Why May 1 instead of May 4? Sondra.kinsey (talk) 16:50, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
