theSocialist May Day greetings11 - 18 April 2020 2013 Socialist INTERNATIONAL Committee for a Workers’ International members in WORKERS’ DAY ay Day is an annual celebration of workers’ struggle against Mcapitalism. Its origins lie in the general strike for an eight-hour working day, put down by police gunfire in Chicago in 1886, and the foundation of the Second International, bringing together revolutionary socialists around the world in 1889 (see p10). Its history teaches us the power of the working class to transform society, and the need to overturn the capitalist state. The Socialist Party’s links with the organised working class - the agent of socialist change - are fundamental to our work. Each year, we ask groups of workers and trade unionists to support the Socialist newspaper and its ideas by financing a May Day greeting. 2020 is our fourth record-breaking year on the trot. Despite the organisational impediments and financial straits caused by the pandemic lockdown, we have received pledges totalling over £8,900, CWI members in all Unite’s three territories of represented by over 100 greetings across 16 pages.

May Day greetings from Socialist Party members in the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers As frontline workers, we mourn our workmates who have suffered and died from Covid-19, and the thousands of people in Britain and around the world who have died. Once we have mourned the dead, our task is to build a lasting memorial to them. The only fitting memorial is to sweep away the rotting edifice of international capitalism, and to replace it with a new world order, a socialist world order, based on human and dignity.
