    Pretty sure it didn’t start in Chicago. Trade unions were started in the uk in the 18th century

      You are right, I shouldn’t said the movement, but the may day or may 1st commemorates among other things the general strike that started on May 1st and the Haymarket affair that took place in Chicago
