Support the labour movement’s largest cultural event in Nova Scotia!
Sisters, Brothers and Comrades,
Over the last eight years, the Mayworks Halifax Festival has grown to become the labour movement’s largest and most ambitious cultural project in Nova Scotia! This has been made possible through the continued support of unions and labour organizations that make up the labour movement in this province and country.
This festival is a platform through which unions have become the face of justice in the public eye by presenting accessible cultural works that promote union values of justice and solidarity to over a thousand spectators annually.
Make the movement visible – counter the spin!
Union values have been eroded in our society over the last several decades and negative myths about unions have become pervasive in the general population – even within union membership. Unions tend to only have a visible public presence during crises and when they are on the defensive.
A large scale cultural festival makes union concerns accessible to wide audiences and projects a positive image of unions to both members and to broader society. Our many events shed light on the struggles faced by the peoples and communities that surround us. As festival partners, unions become the face of those who care about making the changes necessary to better our lives. The mission of our festival is to make sure that unions are highlighted as part of our cultural fabric.
Engage your members!
Complementary tickets give unions the opportunity to reward hard working members or entice members to attend meetings. Union visibility provided by the partnership fosters pride among the membership and also educates the broader public about who unions are and encourages interest in unions among the non-organized.
A cultural event allows members to engage with each other in a fun and celebratory setting. It also allows union officers to engage with their members and the broader public within a casual and fun context. The festival also serves as an educational opportunity for members on a variety of issues including human rights, labour history and political action.
