Labour Day reminds to renew commitment to social justice, inclusion and equity


May Day, also known as International Labour Day 'symbolizes the struggle and the achievements of the working class globally, a day that resonates deeply with our collective commitment to advancing the rights and conditions of workers everywhere,' says UN's ILO while urging to make the observance steppingstone towards a brighter and more equitable future for the world of work.

"This year (2024), our celebration of Labour Day has a sense of urgency for renewed commitment to social justice, as we navigate through the complexities of our time, including climate change and the rapid evolution of the workplace due to technological advancements. These challenges have not only tested our resilience but have also underscored the indispensability of concerted efforts and solidarity in promoting the welfare of workers across all sectors." messaged ILO.

The ILO has urged the world community to renew their 'commitment to social justice, to ensuring that economic growth translates into improved living standards and better working conditions for all. Let us forge stronger partnerships and deepen our dialogue, for it is only through collective action and mutual understanding that we can overcome the challenges that lie ahead' and 'to join hands in solidarity — as workers, employers, government representatives, and members of the international community -  to build a future where social justice is not just an ideal, but a reality for every worker.'
