If any attempt were made to move the holiday to May 1 it might just get abolished outright.
It's not as if anybody who isn't a socialist politician or union diehard cares about anything other than the day off here, either. Well, and having a good laugh at said socialist politicians being obligated to sing The Internationale in public.
But as Joel mentioned, it is rather ironic that both Labor Day (the real one) and the International Women's Day are inspired by American events, and timed to coincide with the day of said American events, yet the US adamantly refuses to recognize either.
So it's International Women's Day today.

Deliberately celebrated on the first Monday in September; 1 May is "Loyalty Day."

Yes, but "socialist American women" are usually the ugly ones that don't shave their armpits.

Unions are themselves controversial, as I'm sure you're aware.

To paraphrase Office Space: I do believe you'd get your ass kicked here for singing that.

And... it's still the same pill, regardless of why it's being prescribed.

If the Catholic Church recognizes that exception, they would be well served to say so.

I don't give a flying fuck about the Catholic Church's position on this.

I first put '50s, then figured surely many would be older still.
