On this day, 18 July 1887, the Argentinian anarchist bakers' union Sociedad Cosmopolita de Resistencia y Colocación de Obreros Panaderos (Cosmopolitan Society of Resistance and Placement of Bakery Workers) was founded in Buenos Aires. It was established with the assistance of Italian anarchists Errico Malatesta and Ettore Mattei. It would hold its first public event on August 4, which later became officially recognised as Bakers' Day, and initiated its first strike the following year.
