On May 1, 2024, as we observe International Workers’ Day, our focus is on the theme “United for our working and living conditions.” We extend a heartfelt invitation to join us in taking to the streets to address the escalating costs of living and the decline in our working conditions, social safety nets, and public services.
With its recent reforms favoring employers, inclination towards privatization, and its stance on labor and immigration, the CAQ is pushing forth a social agenda that fosters division: a neoliberal society that prioritizes the interests of bosses and major stakeholders over those of the workers. Together, let us convey a resolute message to the government: we refuse to stand idly by as it dismantles the societal foundations that generations have labored to build.
During the demonstration, various speakers will highlight the injustices that demand the government’s attention: the privatization of healthcare, the working and living conditions of women, poverty, restricted work permits, social assistance, minimum wage, intern salaries, housing, and labor union struggles, among others.
On this International Workers’ Day, let us demonstrate our unwavering commitment to advocating for a fairer and more equitable society—one that prioritizes the well-being and livelihoods of all its members.
