Hidup Buruh! Perkembangan kapitalisme industri di awal abad 19 menandakan perubahan drastis ekonomi-politik, terutama di negara-negara kapitalis Barat. Pengetatan disiplin dan pengintensifan jam kerja, minimnya upah, dan buruknya kondisi kerja di tingkatan pabrik, telah menuai amarah dan perlawanan dari kalangan baruh. Pada masa itu kaum buruh diharuskan bekerja selama 19 sampai 20 jam per harinya. Kaum buruh memulai perjuangan untuk menuntut dikuranginya jam kerja, bagi buruh, tuntutan ini kemudian menjadi agenda bersama untuk diperjuangkan.pada tanggal 1 May 1886, sekitar 400.000 buruh mengadakan demonstrasi besar-besaran, yang kemudian mendapat represi dari Polisi, para demonstran ditembaki sehingga ratusan orang tewas dan para pemimpinnnya dihukum mati (dikenal dengan tragedi Haymarket 4 mei 1886). Peristiwa tersebut kemudian ditetapkan sebagai momentum hari buruh pada Kongres Sosialis Dunia dibulan Juli 1889, yang diselenggarakan di Paris, dan mengeluarkan resolusi bahwa “Sebuah aksi internasional besar harus diorganisir pada satu hari tertentu dimana semua negara dan kota-kota pada waktu yang bersamaan, pada satu hari yang disepakati bersama, menuntut agar pemerintah secara legal mengurangi jam kerja menjadi 8 jam per hari”. Resolusi ini mendapat sambutan yang hangat dari berbagai negara dan sejak tahun 1890, tanggal 1 Mei, yang diistilahkan dengan Mayday,diperingati oleh kaum buruh di berbagai negara, meskipun mendapat tekanan keras dari pemerintah mereka. Indonesia pada tahun 1920 juga mulai memperingati hari Buruh tanggal 1 Mei ini, namun sejak Orde Baru berkuasa, peringatan seperti itu dilarang pemerintah. Bagaimanakah Kondisi Kaum Buruh Sekarang? |
