Working class found new ways of expressing
their angst and joys
Workers around the world celebrated International Labour
Day 2004 to pay rich tributes to Chicago Martyrs and commemorate
the historic struggle of working people. May Day was born
from the struggle for the demand of eight-hour working a
day along with wages increase and better environment. That
struggle, in turn, emerged as part and parcel of the working
class itself.
All Pakistan Trade Union Federation (APTUF) / Working Women
Organization (WWO) celebrated May Day 2004 with full zeal
and enthusiasm with the slogan of "Revolt Against Capitalist
Globalization & Privatization" hold rallies and
processions in big cities of Pakistan for peace, job security,
dignity and democratic right s, to forge links and unity
among the working class, strengthen them to fight against
prevailing injustice, inequality, denial of basic rights
and the capitalist monopoly, which is horribly controlling
the economy of the world.
The members of the Working Women Organisation carried "Play
Fair" campaign posters in their International Labour
Day rally and released a statement to the press about the
campaign.
