Titolo: festa dei lavoratori

come si dice in Inglese la festa dei lavoratori??
Forse "lubour' day" 


In the US, May 1st is known as "May Day", and has never been known as "Labor
Day".
In the 1920s, to counteract workers' celebrations which were perceived as
being organized by Communists, many groups organized to celebrate
"Americanization Day" on this date. The name of the celebration was later
changed to "Loyalty Day" in the 1950s. Some veterans' groups and patriotic
organizations celebrate "Loyalty Day", but most Americans have no idea that
"Loyalty Day" exists. It is not a holiday in the US.
May 1st was celebrated as it is in Europe mostly by labor unions,
Communists, and Socialists on a fairly large scale in the US until the
1950s, and there was always a big parade in New York City. There are no
longer any parades, and few celebrations of workers on this day. There is
probably someone in the US organizing a workers' celebration today, but I am
not aware of any.
"May Day" is also celebrated by some as a sort of rite of spring in the US.

In the US, the first Monday in September is known as "Labor Day", and is a
national holiday.

Ti ringrazio per questa spiegazione.
Leggendo il tuo tread ho notato che Labor e Labour sono due modi di indicare 
i lavorati, il primo in US mentre il secondo in UK.
Un'altra piccola domanda:
perchč hai scritto workers': cosa sta ad indicare il simbolo '..forse č una 
contrazione di workers's celebrations (festeggiamenti dei lavoratori)?
Studiando ho appreso che per il singolare bisogna metterci la s anglosassone 
(worker's celebration) mentre per il plurale si puň anche omettere 
(workers's oppure workers').
E' cosě??
Grazie
P.S: May Day sembra essere mayday che si utilizza in caso di emergenza:-)

It is interesting that the international celebration honoring workers on May
1st originated because of the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago in May 1886,
when police and protestors clashed, resulting in the deaths of some police
and some rioters. Four of the rioters were convicted of murder and executed.
The holiday inspired by an event which occurred in the US is not recognized
here, but is celebrated around the world.

Sul dizionario on-line dice:
      mayday  nf emergenza (sos)


Yes, but it did originate from the anglicization of the French phrase.
"M'aider" and "m'aidez" sound like "Mayday" to an English speaker.

 I have two dogs. The dogs' houses are small.
Ti ringrazio per la risposta.
2 cani possono avere 2 case e vivere separati oppure averne una e vivere 
insieme.
In questo caso, se ho capito bene, potrei avere:
dogs' houses (le case dei cani)
dogs' house (la casa dei cani)
Is it right??

 here, but is celebrated around the world.
... which makes no sense at all.

che non celebrano il Natale? :DDD

 che non celebrano il Natale? :DDD
That too. yeah. Jokes aside, I see no point in celebrating the same 
(non-religious) thing on two different days. Ok, conflicts between 
social classes are now over, but what's left of the concept of "unity", 
especially in this case?

I thought that confilicts between social classes would continue until the
dictatorship of the proletariat had been achieved.   ;>))
