WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!
May Day 2013
May day, May 1st each year, is worker's day. It is Workers' day throughout Australia and workers' day throughout the World. This has been so internationally since 1890.
Many other events are celebrated each year in Australia: royalty birthdays, cup day, military exploits, religious beliefs, etc, but May Day is the only day in the calendar where workers' struggles are celebrated and workers' demands are publicised.
The labour movement and the trade union movement should continue to build this day as it is the working people's day.
MAY DAY, A BRIEF HISTORY
The history of May Day is a history of the struggle of working people to achieve a better way of life, decent pay, working conditions and for a society that meets the needs of the people.
