The GSD Opposition has congratulated Unite on its continued commitment to celebrate Workers Memorial Day and bringing health and safety issues to the fore.
The following is the full text of Unite’s May Day message:
May Day, also known as Workers Day, is the most significant date in our Trade Union calendar. On May Day we commemorate the struggle of the many workers that have taken part in hard fought battles in pursuance of workers’ rights.
Here’s the full text of the Chief Minister’s May Day message:
The first day of May is a day that is ingrained in my heart as a socialist. It is a day that is significant to the working class. It is a day that is significant to industry. It is a day that is significant to trade unionism. It is a day that was removed as a holiday by the GSD. And it is a day that the GSLP/Liberal Government has given back to the people of Gibraltar since our election in 2011.
The Government has said that the difficult decisions faced by the DPC at practically every meeting are now taken in public and, rightly, are fully reported by the media. Number Six says that the coverage in the local press allows the DPC’s decisions to receive wider distribution adding that it is relevant to note that not so long ago, under the GSD administration, these decisions “were taken in secret, without any minutes being published.”
The GSD says it notes the concerns expressed by the Chief Executive of the Gibraltar Heritage Trust in the Gibraltar Chronicle about the erosion of Gibraltar’s old town and some of the decisions approved by the DPC in recent years.
