The Labour Movement is the bedrock of just and democratic societies. When workers organize and unite, we can make real gains for fairness, dignity, and advance justice.

The inequalities of a broken global economic system are not inevitable and must be actively challenged through workers’ solidarity, activism, and mobilization. For too long we have witnessed a growing cost-of-living crisis, unchecked corporate greed, declining wages and purchasing power whilst profits soar, and years of public services being long starved of funds, understaffed, and public service workers undervalued. The need for greater action and solidarity is more urgent than ever to defend workers’ rights, protect and strengthen our public services, preserve our democratic institutions, and demand a more equitable, fair future. Public services represent the hope for a better world – one where people receive care and vital services based on need.

May Day is a time to reflect on the power of workers’ solidarity and how, through unions, workers have fought and won hard, enduring struggles to bring decency, fairness, and safety standards to our work and improved living standards in our community. May Day commemorates the massacre at Haymarket Square in Chicago in 1886, a tragic moment in the fight for an eight-hour workday and symbol of the international struggle for workers’ rights.

CUPE Saskatchewan joins in solidarity with workers and their unions around the world actively engaged in collective bargaining and strikes, mobilizing and empowering workers to take political action, and organizing for fair wages, safer and better working conditions, and stronger public services!

Solidarity with all workers from CUPE Saskatchewan!

Workers, united, will never be defeated.
