Today, we honour all workers — from those who once broke the shackles of capital to construct new societies, to those fighting for dignity and rights in the face of brutal exploitation today.

"As long as the struggle of the workers against the bourgeoisie and the ruling class continues, as long as all demands are not met," Rosa Luxemburg wrote in 1894, "May Day will be the yearly expression of these demands."
