Together For A Just World



                                    May 1 Labour Day

            May 1, 2025

            On this May Day—celebrated with enthusiasm and unity by workers across the
            globe—we once again reaffirm the enduring power of solidarity and the central
            role of the labour movement in shaping a just and humane world.

            Yet, even as we celebrate, we are reminded that social injustice and labour exp-
            loitation remain deeply

            entrenched across the world. Poverty, unemployment, income inequality, infor-
            mal employment, forced
            migration, and racism continue to affect millions, exposing the structural failu-
            res of the global system.
            In a world where one in four people lacks access to the internet, the ongoing
            digital transformation risks
            widening global inequalities even further.

            Meanwhile, inflation erodes real wages, economic crises and trade wars inten-
            sify precarity, and wealth
            concentration undermines social cohesion.

            In such a climate of uncertainty, working people are increasingly vulnerable.
            In a world still scarred by war, occupation, and genocide, it becomes ever harder
            to speak of justice.
            We live in a time where the fight for labour rights is inseparable from the fight
            for the right to live in
            dignity and peace.

            We do not surrender to despair. We do not abandon our struggle.
            As the International Labour Confederation (ILC), on this day of unity and resis-
            tance,

            We renew our call saying that we will:
            • continue our global struggle for social justice—without leaving anyone behind.
