Why May Day Still Matters: New Union TV Video on the History of Workers’ Struggle
Union TV released a new educational video dedicated to the history and meaning of May Day and the continuing struggle for labour rights.
In the video, LI Legal Director George Sandul explores the origins of May 1, addressing common myths and misconceptions surrounding the holiday. He explains how the events connected to the workers’ protests in Chicago became one of the key symbols of the international labour movement and workers’ solidarity.
The episode also reflects on how generations of workers fought for rights and protections that today are often perceived as ordinary – including limits on working hours, safer working conditions, and the right to collective organization.
George Sandul emphasizes that May Day remains relevant not only as a historical remembrance, but also as a reminder that labour rights continue to require protection and collective action.
The video highlights the importance of solidarity and encourages viewers to better understand the history behind workers’ movements and the role trade unions continue to play in defending labour rights today.
