In the USA, May 1 is Loyalty Day, as it has been since the McCarthy era.

The date, May 1, was set in order to counter International Workers' Day and was recognized by the U.S. Congress during the height of the Second Red Scare.

It's so symbolic that Worker's Day is taken to be an opposite of loyalty to the US.
