IT’S Workers Day today. Some call it Labour Day, some call it May Day. It is supposed to be a day set aside for workers throughout the world. A day of celebration, perhaps, but more importantly, a day to remember and to reflect on the issues affecting our labour force.
This was how I began an article I wrote back on May 1, 2005, also a Sunday, entitled, “A salute to our workers”. I was the Sunday Star editor then and my staff were given assignments to unravel stories of workers who did not fit into the typical 9-5, five-day-week job cycle.
