Today we celebrate with songs and banners from balconies and windows all over the world. Some of us are still allowed to gather in smaller groups, others are alone at home. Regardless, don’t waste the day! Wind up the clocks, ring around, carry on.
If nothing else, read up on what´s happening in the world! Start with Every Day is May Day – It’s Time to Organize! IWA-AIT. Workers all over the world are still oppressed and they still die at work. From 2017 to 2019, 130 workers died in Sweden alone and every year around 2,3 million workers die in the world. Why not read up on some statistics about Working poverty rate, Proportion of children engaged in economic activity or Average hourly earnings of employees by sex? Trust us, no fun reading.
Wherever you are, remember, this is not the end, it’s Time to Organize!
