Thanks, Karl, good work

Editor's note: From our illustrious self-appointed corporate oligarch overlords in Switzerland under the WEF outfit using the Bolshevik slogan "international workers" are alleged to be "driving social progress." Wasn't it the WEF that stated "we will own nothing and be happy", or something to that effect? How can they be driving "social progress" when they are corporate subject citizens being forced into a neo-feudal corporate digital control system controlled by central banks linked with digital Bolsheviks in big tech? What exactly is an "international worker?" Don't you work for a company in your respective country? Either that or you are self-employed right? Marx who was a hack writer for the central banks gave the productive class their May 1 day. Thanks, Karl, good work. What's with the clenched fists?

• International Workers' Day, or May Day, marks the labour movement's efforts to uphold workers' rights and improve working conditions.

• Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty and rapid technological change there is an urgent need to create sustainable industries.

• Trade unions represent the voices of millions of workers around the world – here we highlight three ways they are driving social progress.

Some 135 years ago, workers were achieving monumental progress towards what we now recognize as an eight-hour working day. During that time, factory workers (and in many cases children) endured grueling 14-16 hour shifts days in appalling working conditions that would in often lead to a series of health issues and high mortality rates among the working class.

Celebrated around the world – in the US Labor Day is celebrated in September – International Workers Day, or May Day, signifies the labour movement's struggle for better working conditions, fair wages, the rights of workers and efforts in driving social progress. The 1st of May commemorates the Haymarket affair in Chicago in 1886, where a demonstration for an eight-hour working day turned violent, leading to the deaths of several workers.
