Better wages. Safer workplaces. A better life for working people.
I'm proud to march alongside union members on May Day as Prime Minister. https://t.co/WyYFnF6ZVW
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

Never forget that the rights you have at work weren’t granted freely, they were fought for by unions and working people over many years.
The labour movement will never stop fighting to defend these rights, nor will we shy away from demanding a better future.
Happy May Day. https://t.co/Ss3i2bVmI2
