May 1st is set aside in most countries around the world as International Labour Day. The Victoria May Day Committee together with CUPE Locals, International Solidarity groups, IWW and the Work Less Party of BC continues to work towards a meaningful marking of this occasion and its importance to the international working class.
May Day celebrates the social and economic achievements of the international labour movement and promotes social justice and internationally recognized human and labour rights.
