MAY DAY
International Workers Day May Day is a global day of defiance, a shout of solidarity from the working class! Every year on 1 May, workers around the world remember the battles fought for our basic rights. Across the world, May Day is a day for workers to take to the streets and to show our collective power to resist and overcome ongoing injustices. We use May Day to promote our demands of fair wages, safe conditions, and a life free from exploitation. May Day is the beating heart of the global labour movement. It’s not just history, it’s a living call to arms. On May Day we remember the past, celebrate victories, and, most importantly, organize for the struggle ahead. May Day is a reminder that the rights we have were not gifts from employers. They were fought for and won by those workers who came before us. Now we have an obligation to protect and advance these rights for those who come after us. Authorised by Carl Findlay, 220 Willis Street, Wellington.
