On 8 May, the European Trade Union Confederation celebrates the victory over fascism and recommits to confronting the threat of tyranny and hated posed against by the far-right today.
We remember with pride the defeat of fascism. To the trade unionists who resisted. We thank you. We remember you. We pledge to carry your fight forward.

We remember with pride the contribution that workers and trade unionists made to defeating the Nazis and their collaborators. Now as then, the labour movement will never stand neutral in the face of fascism.
Fascism thrives in an environment of fear or indifference – that is why trade unions are getting louder, prouder and stronger in our demands for social justice.
