May Day Toast. Celebrating Solidarity and Strength
Last Friday (23 May) ANMF staff and members attended the annual May Day Toast at Hobart Town Hall, hosted by Unions Tasmania, to honour the contributions of unionists past and present. Following the Toast, on Saturday morning, the parade was cancelled due to the weather, however the spirit remained strong with a BBQ that brought families together and supported striking workers from the Tolosa Street mental health facility. Events like these remind us that union wins are achieved through collective action and commitment. The ANMF Tasmanian Branch thanks all members who continue to stand up for fairness, respect, and strong public services.
