[STATEMENT] No Borders in the Workers' Struggle! Rise Up Against Exploitation and Oppression! Smash the Chains of Neoliberalism! Defend the Dignity of Migrant Workers!

This May Day, global working peoples must rise in unbreakable solidarity to denounce the deepening economic crisis that continues to impact the lives of millions of migrant workers across the world. From the Global South, migrant workers are bearing the brunt of this crisis. The exploitation of migrant labor by multinational corporations and governments has worsened under the current global economic order, with many workers facing even more precarious conditions—marked by unstable employment, unsafe workplaces, lack of social protections, and the constant threat of deportation.

The closure of all plants in Quebec not only jeopardizes the livelihoods of countless employees but also sends a chilling message to workers everywhere: that standing together for fair treatment and better working conditions can lead to retaliation by Amazon bosses.
