Tomorrow is May Day and 3CR has a special day of programming scheduled for Thursday and further, related union broadcasts on Sunday, May 4 (when there’ll be a rally and march proceeding from Trades Hall). For May Day related activities outside of Naarm/Melbourne, please see : ‘Stand up for workers on May Day’ (Isaac Nellist, Green Left, April 11, 2025). In addition, there’s a rally and march tomorrow at 5.30pm at the State Library of Victoria (see : CrackBook) and the MAC-G, Geelong Anarchist Communists and Arc Up! have organised an anarchist contingent for May 4.
See/hear also : Peter Linebaugh’s ‘The incomplete, true, authentic and wonderful history of May Day’ (Midnight Notes, 1986 & PM Press/Spectre, 2016) /// The Haymarket Affair (BBC’s In Our Time, 2024).
This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! we talk to Jason Wilson [Bluesky]. We last spoke to Mr Wilson in January, and thought we’d check in again to see inter alia how workers in the US are faring under Mr Trump & Mr Vance’s very stAble, much pro-working class regime.
