Message by Mr. Edwin Carrington, Secretary-General , Caribbean Community on the occasion of International Labour Day, 1 May 2003

In many Member States of the Caribbean Community, International Labour Day will be commemorated on May 1st. This commemoration has its origin in the struggle of workers for better working conditions and living standards, such as the eight-hour working day. However in its current form International Labour Day has evolved into an occasion that, among other things, lauds the spirit of unity amongst workers.
