Sigue la lucha en el Día Internacional de los trabajadores 2016
El primero de mayo es el Día Internacional de los Trabajadores y nos pertenece a nosotros, los trabajadores y oprimidos que continuamos luchando por una mejor vida. Ya que los ricos, la poderosa clase multimillonaria que controla este país, goza de lujos los 365 días al año, el 1ero de mayo nosotros decimos ¡BASTA! Estamos cansados de ser oprimidos, vilipendiados y defraudados, y no lo vamos a aceptar más.
