May Day is recognised as a day of celebration for workers throughout the world. From Africa, Asia, Latin America to Europe people celebrate International Workers Day. Chesterfield has a proud record of being part of these world-wide celebrations showing both international solidarity to fellow workers in struggle in other countries and also providing a focus for the campaigns and struggles of working class people in Britain and here in the East Midlands. The theme for this year's May Day is "Defend Trade Union Rights".

Not sure how much defending of Trade Union rights was done.
I was on a stall for the campaign groups. I had a walk into the town and ALL of the usual multi-national nasty shops were open and also, sadly, the Co-operative store in Chesterfield centre(shame on it/them - for being open on Mayday(Monday).
Next year will be the 30th year of the Chesterfield TUC Mayday march and rally.
Please DO go along and support it and the campaign/community and political stalls too.
