Labor Day turned to Loyalty Day--the suppression of worker's holiday
May 6, 2010, 7:12 p.m.
You may know that May 1st is traditionally celebrated as Labor Day in practically every country of the world except the United States, Canada and South Africa, but did you know that America specifically declared May 1st, a âloyalty dayâ in an effort to offset Labor day celebrations elsewhere?
According to the Veterans of Foreign Wars website, Loyalty Day was first observed in 1921[2] as "Americanization Day,"[3] and was intended to counterbalance the international celebration of May 1st, which was perceived as being socialist because of its marking of labor rights and, in particular, the haymarket riot for an 8 hour work day in Chicago.

federal environmental assessment hearings for Taseko Mines' proposed "Prosperity Mine".
The piece offers listeners an intimate look at a community that is deeply troubled by what is becoming a familiar debate in rural resource-based economies in Canada: Who gets to determine whether a mining âboomâ is worth a potential âbustâ?
