2024 May Day Dinner

May Day is the international day of worker solidarity, and we invite you to gather with us for a delicious dinner, lively conversation, and powerful community building.

Our dinner will feature a locally-sourced menu. We will also have a cash-only bar with beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase.

Throughout the evening, we will have a variety of speakers and performers sharing stories and songs of the wins and struggles of working people.

This is an opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about fighting for a more equitable and just world, celebrating the power of collective action.

Limited spaces available, so be sure to reserve your spot early!

We look forward to celebrating May Day with you!

Nominations are now open for the May Day “Spanner Award”.

The Spanner Award is awarded for a lifelong commitment to the Union Movement; to those who have gone above and beyond in the fight for workers’ rights, and who encapsulate the essence of May Day.

Please provide your nominations at bit.ly/SpannerAward24 by Sunday 31 March 2024. Please include the full name and a contact phone number for your nominee, as well as why they should be awarded the 2024 Spanner Award!

The Spanner Award will be presented at the May Day Dinner on Wednesday 1 May.

Thank you – we are looking forward to receiving your nominations to recognise a wonderful comrade in our Union Movement!

We're in a cost of profits crisis, and not every comrade could afford to join us for dinner even if they want to.

With the proud support of Lieschke and Weatherill Lawyers, they've helped to ease the burden on comrades, who are out of work, retired or not receiving a regular wage to come share a meal with their comrades, and celebrate May Day!
