Defending labour rights, equity and economic justice is more urgent than ever. Our rights and quality of life are under increasing threat from the growing push to privatize public services, the staggering rise in the cost of living, and attacks from the far right.

May 1 commemorates the massacre at Haymarket Square in Chicago in 1886. On this day, workers around the world have taken to the streets to celebrate their collective power, defend their rights, and demand equity and economic justice.

CUPE celebrates International Workers’ Day, or May Day, in solidarity with millions around the world who denounce exploitation, defend their right to unionize, and demand decent and safe working conditions.

Plus que jamais, il est urgent de défendre les droits du travail, l’équité et la justice économique. Nos droits et notre qualité de vie sont de plus en plus menacés par la tendance croissante à privatiser nos services publics, par la hausse vertigineuse du coût de la vie et par les attaques de l’extrême droite.

La Journée internationale des travailleuses et travailleurs commémore le massacre de Haymarket Square survenu à Chicago en 1886. Ainsi, le 1er mai, les travailleuses et travailleurs du monde entier descendent dans la rue pour célébrer leur pouvoir collectif, défendre leurs droits et réclamer l’équité et la justice économique.

Chaque année, le SCFP célèbre la Journée internationale des travailleuses et travailleurs en solidarité avec des millions de personnes dans le monde qui dénoncent l’exploitation, défendent le droit de se syndiquer et revendiquent des conditions de travail décentes et sécuritaires.

Today we stood with the BC Building Trades as they delivered a 2,600+ signature petition urging the BC Conservatives to withdraw their bill to dismantle community benefits agreements for public projects. These agreements ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and keep public funding in communities.
