ROGER SUTTON reflects on the mass action that freed imprisoned dockers on this day in 1972, which is to be commemorated later this year in an event drawing parallels with the struggles of workers today

ROGER SUTTON highlights the significance of May Day for working people and argues that here in Britain May 1 ought to be a bank holiday, as it is in many places around the world

Our unbroken tradition of marching from Clerkenwell Green on May 1 is a testament to the unity and resolve that is needed to fight the class struggle, writes ROGER SUTTON

Today is a day for emphasising our unity, not our divisions, writes ROGER SUTTON, organiser of the London May Day Organising Committee

Roger Sutton remembers a stevedore and a class fighter, jailed for picketing — then released after a mass working-class campaign

We stand together with workers in their struggles for peace and socialism, says ROGER SUTTON

Today we honour the tradition of the socialist movement and redouble our commitment to its victory writes ROGER SUTTON, organiser for the London May Day Organising Committee
