The Alliance For Change (AFC) said it hopes that this year’s May Day becomes an occasion for workers to unite on issues of importance.

I” It is our party’s hope that workers gathering to observe this year’s Labour Day, will see this as an occasion to unite around issues of importance to all Guyanese,” the AFC declared.

It added: The AFC extends greetings to all Guyanese on International Workers’ Day or Labour Day. We are proud to join the Guyanese workforce in once again commemorating the achievements of labour movements around the world.”

“Here at home, the AFC wishes to remind workers that the social and economic gains that were fought for by generations of Guyanese workers should not only be celebrated, but carefully guarded, to ensure that they are not eroded by the increasingly inequitable distribution of the nation’s wealth and resources,” the party urged.

The AFC said it remains committed to the principle that all Guyanese workers deserve to be adequately remunerated, so that they can enjoy living conditions commensurate with the real wealth of our nation.

“The AFC wishes all Guyanese a happy and peaceful Labour Day”, the AFC said.
