Poster Campaign May Day 20102010_may_day_poster_1.jpg


We, the YCW India, organised a Poster Campaign at the national movement level to celebrate the International Week of Young Workers and May Day. The poster was calling the attention of the Central and State governments to increase the daily minimum wage of the agricultural workers and to increase the unemployment stipend for the unemployed youth. We have been demanding the governments to increase the daily minimum wage from Rs. 80 to Rs. 120 for the workers in the informal economy. We printed 400 posters in Tamil and 100 posters in English and pasted them in the towns and villages in the districts of Kanyakumari, Thirunelvely, Thoothukudi, Madurai, Thanjavur, Kumbakonam, Thiruvarur, Amaravathi and Akola. We also distributed 4000 hand bills in Tamil and 1000 handbills in English to the public explaining the history of May Day and the demands of YCW India.
