| | Women's Committee - May 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | The global union movement raised a unified voice on May 1st, International Workers' Day, with workers gathering worldwide to celebrate the achievements of the trade union movement and call for action on issues, including workers' rights, health and safety on the job and an end to poverty and discrimination. |
 | | Worldwide, May 1st events also seek to draw attention to groups especially at risk in the global economy, such as young workers and women. |
 | | Lawmakers renamed May 1st "Law Day" and, ironically, May 1st then became a day of worker celebration more in countries around the world than in the United States. |
