Details of a series of events celebrating Workers Rights and Social Justice have been revealed with the launch of a week long programme led by Derry City and Strabane District Council.
The events, delivered by a range of local organisations, will take place online from Monday April 26 – Saturday, May 1. The themes for this year’s programme are history, education and increased access for communities and speakers, and highlights will include exhibitions, talks and live online events.
Throughout the week Council buildings including the Guildhall clock will be illuminated in red to show support for workers’ rights. Concluding the programme on May Day, local people are being invited by Derry Trade Union Council to get involved and make their voices heard by hanging out a red flag in support of local workers and the shirt factory horn will sound in solidarity with essential workers everywhere.
