ATUC President, Sasha Brydon said, "There has never been a more important time to celebrate International Workers Day.
"During the current pandemic, we can see the key importance to our communities of the frontline workers, many of them low paid, many of them women.
"And there has never been a more important time to be in a trade union. Unions and the STUC are at the forefront of standing up for our members' safety at work, workers terms and conditions and workers' pay.
"We cannot go back to business as usual when this is over. We must find a new "normal" which continues to value our workers and all our citizens equally, with an economy focussed on the wellbeing of all rather than profit for a few.
"ATUC always celebrates May Day. This year we can't have a parade but we can have an online rally. We can come together to support our members and each other and to pledge our commitment to workers' rights now and in the future, here and across the world."
