May 02 - May Day Message From The Chief Minister
On the 1st of May yesterday we celebrated international workers' day, a day which commemorates a time of civil unrest in the late 19th century when workers in industrialized countries demonstrated for improved working conditions, wage raises and the establishment of a maximum working day and week. Today, in 2014, it is right that we remember those who made sacrifices for workers’ rights, but it is important that we focus on making sure that we continue to strive to realise more rights for workers while preserving a competitive edge in the business world.
