While Toowoomba, the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Maryborough, and others celebrate their Labour Day on the 29 and 30 April respectively, for a few of us in Brisbane, Darwin, The Alice and various locations across the state and territory, this year’s Labour Day celebrations fall on MAY 1 – the International Workers Day where tens of millions of workers and their communities celebrate Workers’ Solidarity worldwide.

With the election of the first worker-friendly federal government in more than 10 years, it’s time to remember, respond and rejoice in the wins we have had and the battles still to come. We call on all ETU members to gather up your friends and family and get down to the march near you There truly is something for everyone.
