Continuing his series of well-written, historical musings on the labor movement Dick Meister hits stride with this description of one true meaning of May Day. Dick's pieces are like those short side-bars in your college history text book. They focus on one moment, in one aspect of history, concentrating it into something you remember after turning the page.

These are stories with a lot of teeth in them. Dick has obviously seen these events unfold and looks back on them with clarity, allowing us all to share the view. This, and all of Dick's essays, are short and easy to drop in during any broadcast. If you have a local news program that needs a little labor edge, Dick might be your shop-steward.
