Labour day in Jamaica is recognized as a time to volunteer your labour for the upliftment of our communities.
It is a time I personally look forward to because I love to lend a helping hand while interacting with community members.
Today as we celebrate Labour Day 2024, under the theme “Ramp up di access…show you care”, our focus is on inclusion and support for our fellow Jamaicans with disabilities, the elderly, and the vulnerable. Our observance today is a call to action—a reminder of our collective responsibility to uplift every member of our community.
I encourage every Jamaican to embrace the theme and participate in one of the many Labour Day projects taking place across the island. Volunteering on Labour Day and beyond is a tradition that reflects our shared values. Since 1938, Jamaican workers have left us a legacy of volunteerism and social activism. Your actions can make a difference in your community.
