Do you have May Day photos? If so, please consider adding them to our gallery.

Service workers at Los Angeles International Airport went on strike Tuesday in conjunction with other May Day labor celebrations and protests and busloads of union workers joined a rally inside the airport and march onto Century Boulevard.

More than 1,000 union workers belonging to SEIU 1877 - United Service Workers West protested inside the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX and then marched onto Century Boulevard where a planned act of "civil disobedience" occurred.

There was a heavy police presence on Century Boulevard as several men and women sat in the middle of the intersection in a protest of civil disobedience.

Four men and six women were taken into custody about 2:15 p.m. and most of the protesters dispersed afterward.

Did you do anything to celebrate May Day? Take the day off work? Go on strike? Join a demonstration?

One year, long ago, Alice Coltrane performed. Anyone know the year? Definitely in the 70's.

Thank you, David, for your lucid and edifying dissertation on Passover. You just about said itRead More all...I would only add that if people get a chance during the holiday to view the movie version of Fiddler On The Roof they will get a truly inspiring feeling for what it meant - and means - to be Jewish.
