Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts is honoured to co-present the Canadian premiere of A Day's Work, an award-winning documentary that exposes the harsh conditions faced by temp agency workers.

Film synopsis
Ninety minutes before he was killed on his first day of work as a temporary employee, 21-year-old Day Davis texted a picture of himself to his girlfriend, excited for their future. Now Day’s sister, 17-year-old Antonia, searches for answers. An investigation reveals the troubling issues that led to Day’s death and how the $100 billion temporary staffing industry is putting millions of American workers at risk.

May Day 2016

Picture

Every year on May 1st grassroots organizations in Toronto rally and march to mark International Worker’s Day, for migrant and worker’s rights and in support of Indigenous people’s struggles. Themed around the most pressing issues of the day and committed to people’s struggles against oppression and exploitation, May Day unites people’s struggles for self-determination and liberation. We continue this tradition in 2016, rallying and marching against colonial and capitalist attacks on our communities here and Canadian imperialism’s plunder and attacks on peoples across the world.

This year, May Day organizing seeks to ...
highlight the struggles of resistance to anti-black racism,
police brutality, and issues deeply affecting
​black communities.


#blacklivesmatter

We will begin with an opening ceremony given by Wanda Whitebird
