On Thursday, 1 May, we stand up for what truly matters: solidarity. This is more important now than ever. Shareholders are still getting richer. Groceries are still becoming more expensive. And inequality is still increasing. With the Updates world leaders, uncertainty will only grow, and prices will continue to rise. That’s why now is the time to make our voices heard: for a fair distribution of wealth, for good healthcare and education, and for a just society.
On 1 May, union FNV is organising a free demonstration in Amsterdam. Three reasons why you’ll want to be there:
- Fighting together: Many people are still struggling to make ends meet. We fight for a strong public sector – healthcare, education, and public transport we can rely on – without cuts that leave us out in the cold.
- Winning together: Over the past year, we have achieved much to be proud of. From significant pay rises to agreements that make it possible to retire early from heavy work. It’s time to celebrate those successes together.
- Together is more fun: Meet people who are fighting the same fight, be inspired by stories from other sectors, and enjoy a day full of music, food, and camaraderie. And are your colleagues, friends, and family not yet members of the FNV? Bring them along so they can get to know the strongest union! Travelling together is also more fun. This year, we are again offering free bus transport. Sign up to take advantage of the free bus transport.
