This Labour Day, Monday 2 May, we celebrate the work and extraordinary effort of many thousands of workers who’ve turned up everyday to help see us through a worldwide pandemic.
They are our nurses, our health workers, our teachers and early years educators, our first responders, our transport workers, our retail and hospitality workers.
They are the people who kept our power running, our water flowing, our garbage collected, our public
buildings clean, our food supplies running.
They are all the people who provide essential support for those on the front line. And so many more.
Join your union and march on Labour Day so we can say thanks for everything you’ve done, or come
and line Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley (between Wickham St and St Pauls Tce) to say thanks.
This Labour Day, we say thanks to all the workers of Queensland. You’ve kept us safe and secure.
