## Caption

Today marks the first day of May, and workers around the world will be observing the holiday known as “May Day.”

Those observances will also occur in the Chicago area, with some students taking field trips to rallies honoring the sacrifices of workers who pushed for better wages and shorter working hours during the 1800s. 

See Sky 5 footage of gatherings happening now in Union Park, Aurora and Gary.
