Green MPs celebrate May Day

Green MPs will be attending May Day celebrations this week in a show of support for workers rights.

Activities will be held on both Thursday, May 1 for May Day and Saturday, May 3 for International Workers Day.

"It's important for us to show our support for the rights of employed workers and their unions," said Green MP Sue Bradford, the party's Industrial Relations Spokesperson.

"By celebrating May Day we need to ensure that their rights to collectively bargain and be treated fairly are both respected and protected."
