The reason we have weekends, sick pay, holiday pay, safety, etc is bcuz workers organised & stood together & called themselves a 'union'. Today's the day we say thanks for that. Thank a union today by joining it this Labour/May Day. Together we are #UnionStrong 🐝 #auspol

Today is May Day (International Workers' Day). Today, we recognise the struggles and gains made by workers and the labour movement. I’m in Kyneton today but this is a photo of me at last year’s rally in Bendigo. https://t.co/1jWnXn7ePD

Northern Territory celebrates May Day (Labour Day) today May Day celebrates the eight-hour working day, a victory for workers in the mid-late 19th century. The argument for the 8hr day was based on the need for each person to have 8hrs labour, eight hours recreation & 8hrs rest. https://t.co/s8WcC0uCUC

Today is May Day: the international day celebrating working-class struggle. It began in the 1880s, with anarchists and socialists in the US fighting for an eight-hour day. In 1889 its status as the day of the international working class was formalised by the Second International. https://t.co/UroeVT0wmC

Happy May Day 💪🏼 Today we celebrate everything we've achieved together - fair wages, safe working conditions, sick pay - and we continue to organise in the fight for workers rights and equality. Solidarity with workers everywhere, today and every day.
