On 1 May a rally is being held in Aotea Square, Auckland, in solidarity with the brave striking workers and activists in Myanmar. UnionAID and the Democracy for Myanmar group are hosting the event to send a message of support to people in Myanmar.
May Day is celebrated by workers and unions around the world. This May Day, unions are joining with Democracy for Myanmar, a Myanmar-community network, to support the fight for democracy.
Unions in Myanmar are among those leading the civil disobedience movement. Strikes and protests have seen many lose their lives, and all facing huge risks.
UnionAID has a strong relationship with Myanmar, through many union partners, and more than 100 leaders who have completed the Myanmar Young Leaders Programme.
