On this important day of reflection, celebration, and recommitment, the Dominica Freedom Party extends heartfelt solidarity to all workers and to the leadership of the trade unions in the Commonwealth of Dominica on the occasion of Labour Day 2025.

Labour Day stands as a powerful reminder of the immeasurable contribution that the working people of Dominica have made, and continue to make to our nation’s growth, resilience, and dignity. From the fields to the classrooms, from the hospitals to the construction sites, from agriculture to the financial services and across every sector, Dominican workers are the backbone of our national development.

The Dominica Freedom Party honours the legacy of trade unionists and labour leaders, past and present, who, through courage and sacrifice, secured hard-won rights, fairer working conditions, and a voice for the voiceless. We recall with pride our Party’s historic solidarity with the labour movement and affirm our unwavering support for the cause of labour.

This year’s observance comes at a time of continued global uncertainty, economic pressure, and social transformation. It is in such moments that unity, advocacy, and progressive policies are most needed. We therefore reaffirm our commitment to policies that respect and enhance workers’ rights, support decent wages and safe workplaces, and strengthen the tripartite dialogue among government, employers, and trade unions.

The Dominica Freedom Party welcomes the news of the readiness to form a trade union congress in July of this year. An initiative we support whole heartedly.

To the trade union leaders, members, and every Dominican worker: we salute your contribution and stand with you in the ongoing struggle for economic justice, social protection, and national dignity.

Happy Labour Day, Forward in Unity and Strength
