Workers are facing the most broad and brutal attacks we’ve seen in recent history. But as long as we have our unions, we know we can fight back, and we know we are not alone.

On May Day, we stand with workers from across the world in strength and solidarity, and recommit ourselves to the fight for social, racial and economic justice for all workers.
