On Sunday, the international trade union movement celebrates May Day.  

LabourStart will once again be hosting a major online event and I’d like to invite you to join us there.

This is your chance to see and hear your fellow trade unionists from across the world.  We’ll have leaders of global unions, rank-and-file activists and everything in between.  Come join us and meet:

    • Women trade unionists from Cambodia, recently released from jail following a LabourStart campaign.

    • A union leader from Lithuania speaking about the first public-sector strike in their country in decades – which is also the subject of a current LabourStart campaign.

    • Students at the Global Labour University showing their support for the jailed union leaders in Belarus.

    • And many more …

Our broadcast will begin on Sunday, 1 May at 13:00 UTC here:

That's 06:00 in San Francisco, 09:00 in Toronto, 14:00 in London, 15:00 in Berlin, 16:00 in Kiev, 22:00 in Sydney and 01:00 in Auckland on the following day.  Check your local time here:

When the event is over, you will be able to watch a recording at your convenience.

All the participants are either speaking in English, or subtitles in English will be shown.

During the event be sure to post your May Day greetings to fellow workers around the world.

To make this event a success, please spread the word widely in your union.

See you on Sunday!
