[Adrian Harris]

>>EUROMAYDAY 2005 - LONDON :: SUNDAY MAY 1st

MAYDAY is International workers day, born out of the struggle for an 8 hour
day in 1886.  Over 100 years later our lives are still taken up by the world
of work. Even more so now, as the work imposed by Capitalism has become more
casualised  (temporary contracts, flex time, part time, no time!) forcing us
to adapt to the point where it's hard to tell when, where or even if we are
working. This leaves us in a situation where our lives are always on hold,
on call and at the mercy of the market. Our leisure time too is filled with
anxieties. The anxiety of not being able to have enough money to pay the
rent, go to the cinema, a nice restaurant, shop for food, clothes, anything!
In reality our work never finishes and when we're not at work we still end
up making some other person even richer.

Around Europe people call this new working and living condition "precarity"
and over the past few years the EUROMAYDAY parades of causalised workers,
temps, part-timers, immigrants and unemployed have marched through Europe's
capitals to demand new social rights for the most marginalised. On MAYDAY
2005 we will add London to this emerging movement.

MAYDAY this year falls on a Sunday, once a day for relaxing, now part of the
working week for many people. It's symbollic of how our time is increasingly
dominated by work. As part of EUROMAYDAY, our  aim is to make MAYDAY this
year a day off for everyone. A day when  we extend our hand of solidarity
over the counter & checkout &  learn to live for free. One day less for
working, one day more for us! Look out for more info!
