May 1st is International Workers’ Day.
Join us for a day of celebration and action!
We are precarious workers, from cinema workers to sex workers; from drivers to cleaners. We are young, migrant and women workers. We are so-called unskilled workers, whose hard work enables society to function. We live in poverty, on low pay and crap contracts – and we are demanding:
- An end to exploitative contracts and poverty pay – give us guaranteed hours and enough money to live a decent life. Every worker deserves at least a Living Wage!
- Free movement and migrants’ rights – the penalty for standing up to your boss should not be deportation
- The decriminalisation of sex work – give us the right to organise for better conditions
- An end to trade union victimisation and repeal of the anti-union laws.
Join us on the May Day rally and for series of actions across central London. Bring banners, flags and friends!
