Workers’ Day today

Ghana joins the rest of the world to celebrate International Workers’ Day today, Monday 1 May.

The day is marked across the world to celebrate labour and the working class.

In Ghana, the day is celebrated with a parade by trade unions and labour associations. The parades are normally addressed by the Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress and by regional secretaries in the regions. Workers from different workplaces through banners and T-shirts identify their companies.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is expected to be the Special Guest of Honour at this year’s National May Day Parade to be held at the Independence Square.

This year’s May Day celebration is on the theme: “Ghana @60: Mobilising for Ghana’s future through the creation of decent jobs”.
