ICU Urges Workers and Youth: Avoid Election Disturbances
The Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU) advises workers and youth to refrain from causing disturbances during elections, emphasizing the importance of peace and stability for national development.
n his May Day message, Morgan Ayawine, General-Secretary of the ICU, highlighted the crucial role of peace in fostering national development and ensuring the livelihoods of the working class. Ayawine emphasized that without peace, the ability to work and earn a livelihood is compromised, underscoring the importance of stability in all facets of life, especially during politically sensitive times.
Addressing the theme of this year's May Day Celebration, "Election 2024: The role of workers and social partners in securing peaceful elections for national development," Ayawine stressed the historical significance of the event, honoring the struggles of past generations in establishing the industrial democracy enjoyed today. He urged vigilance against any attempts to undermine labor rights, particularly in the face of global economic challenges.
Ayawine commended workers for their contributions to national growth and called for continued efforts to enhance productivity and sustainability in businesses. He cautioned against exploitative practices by employers, such as converting permanent positions to casual or contract work for profit maximization.
Acknowledging the economic impact of post-COVID conditions and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ayawine urged the government to implement sustainable economic measures to address the current downturn effectively.
In summary, Ayawine's message on May Day resonates the need for peace, solidarity, and equitable labor practices to foster national development and ensure the well-being of all citizens.
