This Saturday, May 1st, we return to the streets. And we do it after more than a year of pandemic and months of confinement that forced us to celebrate last May Day in a very different way than usual. The celebration of Labor Day on May 1 has constituted, by history and visibility, the maximum exaltation of demands of the working class. For history, and it never hurts to remember it, since it commemorates 131 years of union struggle in Spain. An ever-present challenge, both in the attempt to improve our working conditions, and to preserve rights that today seem “sent from heaven” to us , but that literally consisted of blood and tears. For visibility, since such an event was associated with massive concentrations, with a peaceful takeover of the streets.
A centenary exercise of freedom that allowed us, on the one hand, to vindicate the validity of the labor movement; and, on the other hand, more circumstantial, protest against legislative or employer abuses, or demand legitimate improvements in working conditions. But even a fundamental right Belgium Mobile Number List such as the right to demonstrate and gather has suffered the rigors of the pandemic. May 1, 2020 was going to take place in the midst of a home confinement unknown in decades, with a society in shock and with uncertainty that hindered any movement. We believe that a year later we should look back. UGT, however, was able to understand that the celebration of our day could neither fall into oblivion nor be forgotten. On the contrary, we knew that, if anyone was going to suffer in this pandemic, it was the working class and, especially, the most disadvantaged, the most vulnerable, the most precarious jobs.
That is why we baptized that day, in conjunction with , as the day of “Work and public services: another social and economic model is necessary A year later, that statement could not be more accurate. May 1, the unfair criticism of the usual ones, if there is something that defines UGT, it is its ability to adapt, mobilize and respond to the challenges that reality subjects us to. In record time, enviable for most organizations in this country, in a display of coordination, collaboration and militancy, UGT and organized a fully virtual May Day. We change the streets, the banners, the songs and the megaphones for screens, hashtags , streaming and posts . We made good the saying from previous years (always the same; always different) and we shaped a unique, but equally emotional May Day. Starting from what should be the usual schedule of a normal May 1st, we scheduled and promoted actions on social networks from 8:30 in the morning until 8 p.m., including a virtual demonstration from all parts of Spain from.
