En la India, el suspenso político llega a su fin este lunes 4 de mayo. Aunque se trata de unas elecciones regionales, lo que está en juego es también de alcance nacional, y Narendra Modi consolida su peso político. Tras un mes de intensa campaña electoral, los resultados de las elecciones regionales dejan en claro un avance histórico del BJP. La sorpresa proviene especialmente de Bengala Occidental, donde el partido en el poder hizo caer a la “dama de hierro” Mamata Banerjee. Una quinta parte del electorado nacional fue llamada a las urnas para elegir los parlamentos de cinco estados del país.

Movimiento histórico - La convocatoria en Estados Unidos reunió a miles de personas en varias ciudades, con especial fuerza en Chicago, donde la movilización creció durante días sin acuerdo con empresas¿Por qué se celebra el Día del Trabajador el 1 de mayo? Un turno de noche que terminaba de madrugada y enlazaba con otra jornada al amanecer dejaba a muchas personas sin apenas descanso. Los trabajadores pasaron décadas en ese ritmo, con horarios que podían alargarse hasta 16 horas y salarios que apenas cubrían lo básico, mientras sus hijos entraban en fábricas desde los seis años y las mujeres asumían turnos nocturnos para completar ingresos. Esa situación empujó a miles de personas a organizarse y exigir cambios, porque el tiempo de trabajo ocupaba toda la vida diaria y dejaba fuera cualquier conciliación personal. La presión creció hasta convertir la reclamación de una jornada de ocho horas en una exigencia que marcó el inicio de una intensa lucha por los derechos laborales. La huelga de 1886 arrancó la protesta por las ocho horas La huelga iniciada el 1 de mayo de 1886 en Estados Unidos, seguida por la revuelta de Haymarket y la condena de ocho trabajadores, dio origen a la conmemoración internacional del Día del Trabajo. Según Historia National Geographic, ese conflicto se desarrolló en un momento de fuerte crecimiento industrial, con ciudades como Chicago que habían multiplicado su población por la llegada de trabajadores atraídos por la industria y el transporte. La movilización buscaba aplicar una jornada de ocho horas que ya figuraba en leyes como la impulsada en 1868 por el presidente Andrew Johnson, pero que no se cumplía en la práctica. Esa brecha entre norma y realidad empujó a sindicatos y organizaciones obreras a fijar una fecha para actuar. La protesta se convirtió en conflicto tras varios días sin acuerdo Las jornadas laborales en aquel periodo alcanzaban cifras que duraban casi el día completo. Muchos trabajadores empezaban a las cuatro de la madrugada y terminaban a las ocho de la tarde, lo que dejaba apenas espacio para descansar. Esa presión diaria se combinaba con sueldos bajos y con la amenaza constante del paro si cerraba una empresa, una situación que obligaba a muchas familias a aceptar cualquier condición. La dureza no se limitaba al horario, también incluía entornos peligrosos y una vigilancia policial que respondía con fuerza ante cualquier protesta. La Federación del Trabajo decidió dar un paso organizado y fijó el 1 de mayo de 1886 como fecha para iniciar una huelga general. La convocatoria se extendió por varias ciudades, con especial intensidad en Chicago, donde miles de personas salieron a la calle para exigir la jornada de ocho horas. Algunas empresas aceptaron reducir horarios, pero otras se negaron, lo que generó tensiones que crecieron durante varios días. Esa falta de acuerdo convirtió las protestas en un conflicto abierto que se prolongó más allá de la fecha inicial. Los Mártires de Chicago quedaron ligados a la lucha laboral El 4 de mayo, en la plaza Haymarket de Chicago, una concentración terminó en violencia tras la explosión de una bomba entre las fuerzas policiales. Murieron agentes y manifestantes, y la respuesta de la policía incluyó disparos que causaron más víctimas y centenares de heridos. No se pudo determinar con certeza quién lanzó el artefacto, pero la presión política llevó a detener a varios dirigentes obreros. El episodio, asimismo, se convirtió en el punto más grave del conflicto iniciado días antes. El juicio posterior condenó a ocho hombres vinculados al movimiento obrero. Cuatro fueron ejecutados en la horca, otro se suicidó en prisión antes de que lo colgaran junto a sus compañeros y otros recibieron penas de cárcel, a pesar de que no se presentaron pruebas directas que los relacionaran con la bomba. El juicio condenó a ocho hombres sin pruebas claras August Spies, uno de los condenados, afirmó antes de morir que “llegará un momento en que nuestro silencio será más poderoso que las voces que hoy estranguláis”. Esa frase circuló en círculos obreros y quedó asociada a la memoria de quienes fueron castigados tras las protestas. Los ejecutados pasaron a ser conocidos como los Mártires de Chicago. Su caso no partía de una condena por pedir ocho horas de trabajo, sino de un proceso penal tras los disturbios, pero la conexión entre su muerte y la reivindicación laboral quedó para la historia. De esta manera, los movimientos obreros adoptaron esa referencia para recordar la represión sufrida en el camino hacia derechos básicos. La Segunda Internacional fijó el 1 de mayo como jornada obrera En 1889, la Segunda Internacional decidió establecer el 1 de mayo como jornada internacional de reivindicación obrera. La elección buscaba mantener viva la memoria de los hechos de Chicago y dar continuidad a la exigencia de una jornada laboral limitada. La fecha dejó de ser solo un episodio concreto y pasó a formar parte de una tradición que se extendió por Europa y América Latina como Día del Trabajador. Estados Unidos tomó un camino distinto y consolidó el Labor Day en septiembre como su principal festividad laboral. La decisión se vinculó a un rechazo parcial de los sucesos de Chicago y a una voluntad política de alejar esa conmemoración de los movimientos obreros más conflictivos. Esa diferencia se mantiene, mientras el 1 de mayo sigue siendo en muchos países como España en una jornada ligada a la memoria de aquellas protestas y a los derechos que se lograron después.

(The Center Square) -- Illinois has failed to broaden access to state contract money for businesses owned by racial minorities, women and people with disabilities because many of the businesses aren't interested, according to staff of the state's highly-paid Commission on Equity and Inclusion. But a business owner who helps others obtain the certification that gets them priority for state contracts blames the diversity commission's processes. The issue was raised in a recent meeting of the state's Business Enterprise Council, a subordinate of the commission that, in part, reviews certification appeals. One of the council members, who did not identify himself before speaking, questioned why total certifications for businesses have been persistently low following a computer software switch. "They're the ones that are choosing simply not to respond and participate," the council member questioned, paraphrasing the commission's staff. "On a consistent basis," responded LaTasha Binder, a deputy director for the commission. The problem has dogged the commission for nearly two years. The commission has tried, most often in vain, to acclimate more than 2,000 formerly certified businesses to the new system. But Tracy Sullivan, a consultant who assists businesses with the certification process, said the problem is a combination of difficulty and disillusionment. Getting certified has long been cumbersome, and the software issues have complicated that. "I don't believe that businesses don't care about being certified," Sullivan told The Center Square. "You can only bang your head against the wall so many times before the headache becomes too much." Not pointing fingers The diversity commission staff's remarks, during a public meeting last month, came after weeks of bipartisan scrutiny by state lawmakers who are displeased with the commission's lack of progress. The commission's executive director, Alexandria Wilson, told The Center Square the comments were not meant to shift blame to businesses: "This is not a matter of fault, it is a matter of process change," she wrote in an email. "With the transition to the new Supplier Diversity Management Portal, vendors now have to complete a manual update to create an account and confirm their information," she said. "That step is essential for data accuracy, but it also means the certification count now reflects only those firms that have actively updated their profiles." She and other staff told lawmakers that even though the total number of certified businesses is nearly half of its peak, that smaller group of about 2,900 more actively seeks state contracts. Lawmakers created the commission in 2022 to push the state closer to its goals of awarding between 20 and 30 percent of eligible state contract money to those businesses. The agency is led by seven commissioners who are each paid about $150,000 annually, and they have a staff of more than 30 people. The council had overseen the goals before lawmakers formed the commission -- a new layer of bureaucracy that supersedes the council. While the commission recently reported that about $1.6 billion of state contract money went to those businesses last fiscal year -- the highest total yet -- the money went to fewer of the businesses. A forthcoming solution The commission has been flummoxed by a computer software problem that has been ongoing since July 2024 that resulted in a monumental decline in the number of businesses that are certified for preference in state contracting. Unable to correct it, commissioners and their staff have attempted to contact more than 2,000 businesses that lost their certifications to help them get recertified. In recent months, they have made personal phone calls to the businesses. Binder said the commission has not been successful with the businesses despite staff "hand-holding every step of the way." "So there's anecdotal information that suggests if firms are not recertifying, those are firms that may not be actively pursuing or participating in the state of Illinois procurement opportunities," Binder said during last week's Business Enterprise Council meeting. The new software was meant to streamline the certification process, but Sullivan said it still contains unnecessary and burdensome steps that can take months for businesses to climb, especially if they have few employees. Sullivan is retired from a long career in public contracting and now works as a consultant. She said she has helped seven or eight businesses get certified with the state and is certified herself for a woman-owned business. She has offered to help the commission simplify the online process. "The challenge and the work that it takes to get through that process -- the small business owners don't have the extensive quantity of time it takes to create, attach and submit dozens of documents," Sullivan said, adding that some of them simply abandon the process midway through. The commission hopes to implement a workaround for the software problem in the coming months. Wilson and other commission staff have been grilled by Democrats and Republicans at two legislative budget hearings in recent weeks -- largely based on The Center Square's reporting -- and are expected to attend a third, as they seek about $5.6 million to operate their agency in the next fiscal year.
