Labour Day Rally 2026: TIME IS RUNNING OUT
LABOUR DAY RALLY 2026 IS HERE!!!
This year, the rally is jointly organised by both the labour and climate movement, represented by Workers Make Possible and SG Climate Rally.
Singapore is one of the most overworked countries in the world. Whether you're a doctor, a domestic worker, a security guard, a tech worker, platform workers, or cultural worker, most of your time is spent on work. Meanwhile every coral bleached and green space taken away from us is a reminder of how little time we have left to protect our planet.
We are burned out workers on a burning planet and we are tired of the people in power idling around on issues that concern and chasing profits at our expense instead. Our time is now ✊✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻🚩🌎
