Across the country and around the world, it is the
working people who are fighting to defend their own rights who defend
the rights of all and protect us during this COVID-19 pandemic.
On the occasion
of May Day 2020, under the conditions of the global COVID-19 pandemic,
the Workers' Centre of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist)
is organizing several video meetings to provide workers who are on the
front lines of fighting for their rights and the rights of all with a
Workers' Forum to share their stories and exchange experiences.
The pandemic is revealing above all else,
especially as workers are being told to get back to work to ramp up the
economy and "get back to normal," that our society cannot afford this
"business as usual" approach which has caused such devastation.
The conditions of the pandemic show beyond the
shadow of any doubt that neo-liberal anti-social policies are
destructive and cause havoc which the people pay for with their lives.
A mural in Madrid reads: We will not go
back to normal because normal was the problem (No volveremos a la
normalidad porque la normalidad era el problema).
In this vein, the Workers' Centre of CPC(M-L) is
calling on the workers to make May Day 2020 a turning point for the
workers' striving for empowerment. Never again must the working people
be left in the dark about the decisions which are taken which affect
their lives. Never again must they be told what to do without their
say-so. The working people must be the ones who determine what must be
done. The working people must continue both during the pandemic and
beyond the pandemic to put themselves in a position that ensures what
they say is done.
Those who want to be included in the
video-consultations please inform: workerscentre@cpcml.ca or
