The development of the economy and the cohesion of society pass through man-centred work.

Workers' rights and the regulation of labour relations are the result of social struggles. Modern states adopt rules and social partners reach agreements that ensure industrial peace and create prospects for prosperity for citizens.

Labour Day is an annual reminder of the importance that the State, trade unions and employers' organisations must attach to work as a common reference point that produces and creates added value, which must be distributed fairly and effectively.

Today's challenges for the working environment are great and addressing them appropriately will make it possible to build a future that reflects the hope for better conditions, for security and dignity, for equality and solidarity, for the use of technology and for the reconciliation of personal and professional life.

At the same time, the State's investment in the knowledge, skills and competences of workers through vocational learning is essential for the continuous upgrading and empowerment of workers to enable them to realise their potential.

With a high sense of social responsibility, we welcome the Labour Day anniversary and respond to the task of safeguarding labour rights for the present and future of labour.
