The context for this is, of course, the recent decision from Google to drop these holidays from their own calendar.

This is very much work in progress and will work best as a group effort.

Either contribute directly at https://github.com/stefanbohacek/holidays, or let me know which holidays should be added!

May Day
May 1st International Labor Strike

@yianiris@libretooth.gr I was actually thinking whether it makes sense to include labor-related holidays. I guess those might be under attack next, though.

Let me give this a bit more thought!

In most parts of the world workers honor May Day as a strike, not a holiday, which is different than the McCartian character it has received in the US as "Labor Day", to help erase the historic date from memory. So I don't know whether it should be listed as a holiday, which is not.
