March and Street Parade
Unions Tasmania invites members, supporters, and their families to celebrate May Day at their annual parade, which will be held on Saturday 24 May this year (a little later than usual due to the Federal Election being held on the first weekend in May).
Everyone is welcome to gather at the usual location behind the CPSU in Victoria Street before marching around the Hobart CBD with union pride on full display.
We will marshal from 11:30am, with the march kicking off at 12 noon sharp, returning to Victoria Street where there will be a free BBQ, drinks for purchase, ice creams, coffee, and plenty of fun activities for the kids. This is a free event, and Unions Tasmania would love to celebrate it with their union family. It is, after all, Union Christmas! See you there!
RSVP today.
ANMF members are invited to join ANMF staff members and attend the March and Street Parade together. We will meet at the ANMF offices (182 Macquarie St) at 11:10am to collect flags and ANMF T-Shirts. We will then walk down to the meeting spot in Victoria Street together arriving at 11:30am.
