Dear Friends of SJS,

May Day in Victoria

Monday, May 1 at 4pm, corner of Richmond and Fort.

Celebrating International Workers Day in Victoria by showing our support for the 4.000 hospital support service workers who are being hyper exploited by multinationals corporations owning the contracts for cleaning and dietary services in our hospitals.

VIHA plays an important and pivotal role in this exploitation, taking full advantage of it and hiding behind the multinationals.

Please wear “orange” so symbolize workers getting “squeezed” like oranges by multinationals in our city.
