International worker’s day ( May day) was commemorated at Hawassa Industrial Park on May 3/2022 with the presence of Ethiopian Confederation president, officials of Sidam Regional State, park management and HIP workers.
During the celebration, the park was commended due to the fact that 80 percent of companies at HIP are unionized. It was also reiterated the importance of strengthening trade unions so as to promote collective bargaining and ultimately ensuring industrial peace.
The day was marked for the 143th time at an international level and 47th time in Ethiopia with the motto of “Workers unionization for industrial peace, productivity and improved standard of living.”
