International Workers’ Day: May 1

On May 1, we mark International Workers’ Day—a time to honour the struggles, wins and sacrifices of working people around the world.

For generations, workers have organized, marched and fought for the rights many of us rely on today: fair wages, safe conditions, weekends, pensions and the right to a union.

At BCFMWU, we stand in that tradition. Every fight we take on—whether it’s for safety, equity, funding, or dignity on the job—is part of that larger movement for justice.

We’re proud to carry that legacy forward. Solidarity forever.
